Not knowing about something is scary and we all have experienced it at some point in life. Since our high school require us to choose major since 9 grade and then university to study for another 4 years.
GSSE is a unique place to learn and explore yourself with a no-wrong-answer culture. Extensive opportunities and supportive professors allow students to develop their careers that suits them.
Disregarding the unknown is dangerous to progress as there are always things that we don’t know to learn and improve, and something that we don’t even know that we don’t know.

Since I coming to the GSSE program, my life has changed a lot.
Everyone in this community are very supportive and inspiring. In high school, I always wanted to make an impact in the world, but I didn’t feel like I could do anything.
This place always tells me that I can do something, I can be the change, and it is totally fine to fail. This place shapes my goals and helps me reach them.

Studying in Japan as an exchange student completely changed my world!
I realize that the world that we live in today is so big, and we have so much power to connect and create even when we sometimes feel so small.
There are a lot of exciting stories and journeys out there that are waiting for us to explore.
Here at GSSE, they don’t tell you who you will become. But they will ask you what you want to do and they will help you with everything to achieve your dreams.
We respect diversity and love sharing opinions. Every day at GSSE allows me to upgrade myself and follow my passion.
At GSSE, your education does not just stop at learning about global issues and problems. You will be expected to bear the responsibility of not only identifying needs but to proactively take action to address those needs. Rather than rely on rigid content to pass an exam, you will engage in thinking and solving real world problems.
You will be creating impact in the real world from day one.
However, not to worry, you are not alone in this journey of impact and social change. GSSE’s collective experience and expertise will guide, challenge, and support you along the way. Moreover, our social innovation platform, called “G-Lab”, our connection with Thailand’s social enterprise ecosystem, and people who are leading change will help you achieve your goals in creating positive change.
