LTCET 2023 JANUARY | THE BATCH OF REAL IMPACT YOUNG LEADERS IN SINGAPORE

The journey that made us realize adventure was the best way to learn

The Lead The Change 2023 Exchange Trip (Batch 5) has come to an end, with the Graduation Day of 24 young talents at the National University of Singapore (NUS) on January 9.

Our team landed at Changi Airport on a sunny afternoon, with the smiles and excitement of 30 people waiting a long time to explore this modern and wonderfully developed country.

Singapore welcomed us with 7 days with nearly 30 practical, interesting, and also intensive training activities. The program helps our talents understand further Leadership, Entrepreneurship, and Teamwork skills in a multicultural environment. Moreover, talents had the chance to study new methods of education such as Open and innovative thinking, Reflective thinking debate, problem-solving skills, etc. Above all; the program successfully created deep connections between 30 youths, which are “firsts” with a series of interesting overseas experiences, surely created a memorable event that influenced the talents during this trip.

We – as the program organizers – would like to express our sincere appreciation to our partners, including organizations and enterprises: National University of Singapore, NUS Enterprise, SC Ventures by Standard Chartered, Google APAC, Block 71, Skilio, OMRON APAC, Republic Polytechnic, NEWater Visitor Center, and Sanofi-Aventis, etc. for your enthusiastic support and valuable time with Lead The Change and the 30 talents, contributing to the success of this program.

And now, let’s go through some highlighted activities during the seven days of the Lead The Change Exchange Trip this January with outstanding activities!

The delegation visited and learned about NEWater – Singapore’s National project that creates clean water to supply 40% of the demand for the whole country. An important part of Singapore’s plan to create sustainable development

Graduation Day of 5 talented teams, after business model designing and pitching for the Give It Back project with the joining of Ms. Linda Nguyen Schindler – Head of Ecosystem and Partnership – German Entrepreneurship Asia, Ms. Truong Bich Yen Chi – Client Solution Partner at Meta, Mr. Huynh Cong Thang – CEO InnoLab Asia, Mr. Ly Vu Thinh – Chairman VATICO as Final Day judges

Besides learning about skills and thinking at organizations, talents also had the chance to discover Singapore’s culture and history through visiting landmarks such as Singapore City Gallery, Food Court, NEWater Visitor Center, Merlion Park, East Coast Beach, Fort Canning, Gardens by the Bay, etc.

They have stepped out of their comfort zones and are preparing for the future.

The trip is not just about traveling; every day at nine o’clock, the members gather together to sum up the day’s lessons, share feelings and connect. With each day that passed, the members seemed to have matured in terms of love and knowledge.

Ms Hong Nhung – Growth Marketing Manager of ELSA SPEAK, shared: “This is not my first time coming to Singapore, but I have been approached with a learner’s perspective and welcomed at leading businesses such as Google, OMROM, Sanofi-Aventis, NUS University… to listen to their stories, and business vision is not an easy opportunity. Thank you, Lead The Change, for giving me this opportunity. I believe that the lesson after the trip will continue to follow each member along the way to develop themselves, establish a career, and become leaders with heart and talent. Not only focusing on success but also being successful, creating more open-minded and friendly working environments for young people. Meetings at the trip with mentors (instructors) and peers at NUS may also open up new opportunities for the talents themselves.”

Bich Ngoc, one of the talents, shared her thoughts “I did have memorable experiences during Exchange Trip Singapore 2023. I had the opportunity to learn about the business model canvas. One of the most meaningful things which made me change my mind is I presented in English for the first time. Remarkably, other participants are great. They are not only talented but also energetic. They inspired me with their enthusiasm; also, they helped me a lot. I truly appreciate that. Thank you for pointing out my mistake. Thank you for everything.”

Not only being inspired, but our talents also have the opportunity to directly visit and learn from companies’ operation processes, meet and listen to the leaders of leading businesses.

Anh Thu, one of the talents who have the scholarship as the TOP 5 teams of Impact Entrepreneurship Bootcamp, said: “It’s nearly perfect to me. In NUS, thankfully, I did talk to a friend who delivered a startup presentation there, and we gained a lot of insights from each other. We are still in touch now with more and more untold stories.”

Chu Thi Phuong Anh: “It was an unforgettable trip with happy and unhappy memories. I had lots of trouble with the flight, from the vaccine passport to the ticket; however, those accidents made me realize how caring the Hanoi team is, especially my baby sister – Phuong Anh. I cannot believe that in just a few days, we – strangers can spend for each other love. Not only the Hanoi team but the Saigon team are also so lovely, kind, and excellent people. I love them. Before going, I set my own goals; however, no actions were taken to achieve them in the first days. I want to send my most sincere thanks to Mr. Thang, Ms. Linh, and the organizing team for reminding me about my goals. In the end, I achieved them. Thank you so much.”

The trip ended with fueled dreams and new people starting a business and building a personal brand.

Hopefully, in the coming 2023, Lead The Change can create more chances for the youths and support more young Vietnamese to grow in developed countries like we always dream of.
