Education has long been heralded as the cornerstone of progress, empowering individuals to not only transform their own lives but also effect positive change in the world around them. In Vietnam, this belief is about to be actualized in an initiative led by United World Colleges (UWC), a global advocate for youth-driven positive change.
The inaugural UWC Short Course: Doing Good is set to inspire and equip high school students aged 15-17 with the tools and inspiration to create meaningful impact.
This initiative brings the renowned values of UWC to Vietnam’s shores, offering local youth a chance to participate in a life-changing experience. Against the backdrop of Bình Định’s beauty, students will embark on a 17-day journey to explore the concept of “Good Work” and its application to real-world challenges.
Through immersive experiences and interactions with local organizations, participants will gain invaluable insights into addressing pressing issues facing their communities. The program’s focus on excellence, ethics, and engagement will empower students to become agents of positive change, both locally and globally.
Scholarships are available to ensure inclusivity and accessibility for all aspiring changemakers, reflecting UWC’s commitment to breaking down barriers to education. By bringing the UWC experience to Vietnam, this event reaffirms the organization’s dedication to creating a brighter, more compassionate world for future generations.
UWC’s mission lies in a profound belief in the potential of young people to drive positive change globally. With a network spanning 18 schools and colleges across four continents, UWC is committed to nurturing the energy and idealism of youth into empathy, responsibility, and lifelong action.
UWC schools and colleges, intentionally diverse and inclusive, provide a transformative education to students selected from over 150 countries and territories. More than just academic institutions, they serve as incubators for compassionate, idealistic individuals driven to make the world a better place.
The UWC experience extends beyond formal education. Through initiatives like the Refugee Initiative and need-based scholarships, UWC ensures that financial barriers do not hinder access to quality education. This commitment to inclusivity reflects UWC’s core belief that money should not be a barrier to opportunity.
