ServICE 15 Inspires Student-Led Action for a Better World
RIS Ruamrudee International School proudly hosted ServICE 15, the annual ServICE Thailand conference, on the weekend of September 20–21, 2025, bringing together students and educators from across Bangkok and beyond to Inspire, Connect, and Empower (ICE) youth to make a difference through meaningful service learning.
This year’s event welcomed student leaders from 12 participating schools, including Aster International School Bangkok, Bangkok Patana School, International Community School (ICS), International School Bangkok (ISB), KIS International School, NIST International School, Raffles American School, Regent’s International School Bangkok, Roong Aroon International School, St. Andrews International School Bangkok, Wells International School, and RIS Ruamrudee.
Over two days, participants took part in keynote talks, collaborative workshops, and “ICE Experiences”—hands-on sessions designed to turn ideas into action. The ICE Experience Showcase, a highlight of the program, allowed student leaders to present their projects and reflect on how their service work has made an impact. Delegates also joined in the long-standing ServICE tradition of forming the letters ICE as a group, symbolizing the shared purpose that unites schools across the network.
Beyond workshops and presentations, connection was at the heart of the conference. Frequent mix-and-mingle sessions, icebreakers, and collaborative activities gave students the chance to build relationships, share ideas, and explore future partnerships. These opportunities reflect the “C” in ICE—fostering lasting inter-school networks that make service initiatives more powerful and sustainable.
The conference also embodied the spirit of inspiration and empowerment. Students were encouraged to think critically about global challenges, learn from one another’s experiences, and find their voice as changemakers. From leading workshops and delivering keynotes to collaborating on action plans, delegates left the event with renewed motivation — and the confidence to take meaningful action in their communities.
