Students gather at Vietnam Embassy in Paris

At the event, 15 students had the opportunity to deliver a speech voicing their ideas and perspectives on youth-related issues and share their personal solutions to crucial questions such as blending academic and personal lives.

The seminar, coordinated by the Vietnam Embassy in collaboration with the Vietnam Students Association (VSA), created a space for youth from Vietnam and Europe to shape parts of the program and bring their issues to forefront.

It was a unique opportunity for the youth to make their voices heard, said Nguyen Minh Triet, vice chair of the VSA.

On the occasion, Triet on behalf of the VSA presented certificates of merit to three students associations in the EU and more than US$9,700 (VND224 million) to the Vietnam Students Association in France to organize a Vietnam Youth Festival.
