UNICEF-Thailand uses the Adolescent Kit across a range of programme entry points with the aim to raise the voices of adolescents and youth ages group 10-25 and strengthen opportunities for them to influence policymaking that affects them. UNICEF and its partners use the Adolescent Kit to reach a wide range of vulnerable and disadvantaged groups in Thailand, including ethno-linguistic minorities and youth in the criminal justice system, helping them to succeed in the formal education system and participate fully in Thai society. The Kit is also used in programming for refugees, migrants and other adolescents and youth from Myanmar living in Thailand, to support their fair and equitable access to tertiary-level educational opportunities.
The Adolescent Kit programme in Thailand was first piloted in 2021 using COVID-adapted activities and approaches, but has since transitioned to a hybrid approach, using resources and approaches from the original Kit while still applying a range of COVID-adapted resources to reach adolescents via social media and other methods. The Adolescent Kit is now integrated into youth development programming throughout the country, including programmes with a focus on skills building, empowerment, protection, psychosocial support, child participation, education and social inclusion. Some partners carry out stand-alone programmes using only the Adolescent Kit and others carry out integrated programmes using the Kit and other resources. The Kit also been translated into Thai.
