Project increases youth's confidence in global integration

The UNESCO Centre for Culture and Education (UNESCO-CEP) launched the “Today’s Voice” project in Ho Chi Minh City on October 21, equipping young people with necessary skills to stay more confident while integrating into the world.

While proving to be dynamic and creative, most Vietnamese youth have not yet outlined appropriate goals to fully capture their potential and strengths in global integration, particularly important when the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) is formed in 2015.

UNESCO-CEP Director Nguyen Thi My Hanh said the project aims to raise the youth’s awareness of the AEC and provide them with essential skills and knowledge to enhance their competitiveness in the region and beyond.

A wide range of activities will be carried out as part of the project, including a workshop on “ASEAN dream mission”, which is expected to help around 500,000 students get a glimpse of the opportunities and challenges ahead in the AEC.

A contest named “Your choice” will provide young people with an opportunity to practice their skills at leading companies in the country.
