English Access Summit to promote leadership and cultural exchange
VOV.VN - More than 100 Access students, teachers, English language fellows, and United States Mission staff from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia are set to convene in Lao Cai for a five-day Summit aimed at supporting learning and promoting cultural exchanges.
The event, organized by Lao Cai College under the auspices of the US Embassy Hanoi's Regional English Language Office (RELO), will take place from June 5th to June 9th, 2023, focusing on the theme of leadership.
The English Access Microscholarship Program is being sponsored by the US Department of State and provides 360 hours of free English language instruction to disadvantaged youths aged 13 to 21 in more than 90 countries.
The scheme aims to equip these students with essential English language proficiency, IT skills, and soft skills, thereby enhancing their access to educational and employment opportunities upon graduation.
The Access programme, along with the US Mission's other English language initiatives, aligns directly with the Mission's goal of expanding English language instruction as a way of promoting further international integration and economic development. By empowering young individuals with the necessary linguistic and professional abilities, the programme actively contributes to their future success and the growth of their respective communities.
The English Access Summit in Lao Cai will serve as a platform in which Access students can come together, exchange ideas, and build cross-cultural connections. Throughout the duration of the five-day event, participants will engage in a series of interactive workshops, field trips, and cultural activities based around leadership.
This comprehensive scheme will enable students to develop their leadership skills, enhance their English language proficiency, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for the diverse cultures represented at the event.
The Access Summit is a testament to the commitment of the US Embassy in Hanoi's Regional English Language Office and its partners which seeks to empower young individuals through education and foster global citizenship. By bringing together students and teachers from different countries, the event creates a vibrant space specifically for collaboration and cultural exchange.
