ACTIVITIES
We understand that every child learns differently — and this should not be seen as a negative. It’s what makes our relationships and our lives so interesting! While some children learn best through auditory means, others require visual guidance or tactile experiences to grasp concepts. That’s why SALA SUJIPULI have chosen to gear our children and youth towards an interdisciplinary teaching . This allows us to provide information using different techniques so that each child can have an opportunity to learn in their own unique way.
Many activities promote learning in multiple disciplines at once. For example, traditional weaving can also relate to math, social studies, language arts, and more. A science activity about rice planting that takes place outside can promote physical movement, history, reading comprehension, and more.
SATURDAY ACTIVITIES
Every Saturday SALA SUJIPULI welcome kids and youth for morning activities. We had recently Awk Phansa, Buffalo or flowers themes

WORDS BY CHILDREN
The project “WORDS BY CHILDREN”, supported by the French Embassy through the PISCCA fund (2021–2022), focused on summer activities around writing, reading, and acting. These three areas were designed to help children build confidence and develop their creativity. The project culminated in the publication of SALA SUJIPULI’s first book, Children Stories—written and illustrated entirely by the children themselves.
PERFORMANCES
The children of SALA SUJIPULI had the opportunity to perform dance, music, and singing at several events, such as La Fête de la Musique organized by the Institut Français du Laos, the Gala of the European Chamber of Commerce, and the CSO Fair in Vientiane.
ANNUAL CHILDREN’S FAIR AT SALA SUJIPULI
SALA SUJIPULI organizes an annual children’s fair called Talat Dek (“Children’s Market”), where children showcase their creations and perform what they have learned in music and dance. It is a joyful moment of gathering that brings together the community—parents, neighbors, and village officials alike.

With Khen, a permanent staff member at SALA SUJIPULI and a skilled khaen (traditional flute) player, the children are learning to play traditional melodies. Drums and cymbals are added to the ensemble, and they now perform alongside singers and dancers in group presentations.
