EDUCATION AND INTERCULTURAL EXCHANGE CAMP

In this camp, volunteers will have a chance to visit unique places in Vietnam and interact with students and youths from different social backgrounds through activities such as: workshops, debate, team building, social activities, cultural exchange programs, and interactive games. The camp is set to be located in Ha Tinh - one of the poorest and underdeveloped provinces in Vietnam. Life in Ha Tinh is tough for locals as it is prone to harsh natural conditions with frequent typhoons, floods and extreme heat in summer. In 2016, a massive and unprecedented environmental disaster occurred to its ocean, making life even more difficult for those who rely on fishing for their livelihood. Participation in this camp enables volunteers to gain an insight into similar social issues in a developing country like Vietnam. At the campsite, volunteers will experience the life of rural Vietnamese and meet a lot of friendly young people, who are eager to learn for a better life. Despite the short duration, this camp is expected to bring a new world to the young generation, enrich their knowledge and offer them the opportunities to discover the world through interaction with people from different cultural backgrounds. In addition, non-formal education methods used throughout the camp will help improve English skills for local students, enforce their confidence and develop their personal skills through creative activities.
