Voices of Values and Vision:
Thai Speech Contest 2026
The 2026 Thai Speech Contest at Concordian International School was more than a language competition—it was a meaningful opportunity for students to reflect on values, leadership, and the power of communication. Organized as part of the Thai Language, Thai Culture, and Thai History program, the contest encouraged students to explore how the life and royal initiatives of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, The Queen Mother, continue to inspire moral values and visionary leadership. This year’s contest featured two themes designed for different grade levels. For Middle School students, the topic “From Her Works to Our Values” (คุณธรรมตามรอยแม่แห่งแผ่นดิน) invited students to explore the virtues reflected in the Queen Mother’s royal initiatives and consider how these values can guide their everyday lives. Students spoke about compassion, environmental conservation, community support, and the preservation of Thai cultural heritage. Through examples such as the SUPPORT Foundation and environmental initiatives, students demonstrated how these projects have uplifted communities and inspired responsibility toward society. For High School students, the theme “From Royal Initiatives to Visionary Leadership” (วิสัยทัศน์ผู้นำ�ตามรอยพระราชดำ�ริ) encouraged deeper reflection on leadership and the future. Participants examined how the principles behind royal initiatives—such as service to others, sustainability, and empowerment—can shape the mindset of future leaders. Their speeches showed thoughtful connections between these ideas and the kind of leadership needed in today’s world.
