Some 1,000 people from 21 countries are joining a youth sport and education exchange camp in Bangkok next week.
United Through Sports joined hands with the Sports Authority of Thailand and the National Sports Development Fund to hold the event at Srinakharinwirot University from November 14 to 19.

The objective is to connect the Thai sports network with foreign countries, push for Muay Thai to be included in the Olympic Games, and help the country in the bidding to host the Youth Olympic Games.
The activity also aims to create a safe zone for all youths to show their capabilities while recognising the importance of sports.
Participants will get an opportunity to exchange culture, education, and sports via activities including football, futsal, teqball, skateboarding, rock climbing, sepak takraw, and dancing.
