Changwon National University Overseas Volunteer Group "We Will Share Knowledge and Culture in Vietnam"

The 2023 overseas volunteer team of Changwon National University has departed for Hanoi, Vietnam.

According to the university, the overseas volunteer team, consisting of 35 students and faculty members, will carry out educational and cultural volunteer activities at facilities such as the Hanoi Center for Children with Disabilities in Vietnam from the 15th to the 23rd of this month.

This overseas volunteer activity, planned through the recommendation of the National University Volunteer Council's "Global Sharing Movement" program, aims to cultivate global leaders through the practice of sharing and consideration, and to foster a spirit of challenge in solving global community issues including poverty, human rights, and peace.

The Changwon National University overseas volunteer team will work together with the Global Sharing Movement, a non-governmental international development organization that has obtained special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.

Participating students said, "As members of the international community, we feel very rewarded to have the opportunity to volunteer for overseas children who study under more difficult circumstances than us," and added, "We want to practice educational equality by sharing Korean culture and educational programs, actively participate in overseas volunteer activities supported by the university, and contribute to enhancing the prestige of Changwon National University and the Republic of Korea."

Park Jin-ah, Director of the Student Affairs Office and leader of the volunteer team, stated, "Changwon National University dispatches overseas volunteer teams during vacation periods to broaden students' perspectives and nurture them into global talents with character," and added, "Changwon National University will expand diverse and holistic educational programs for university students to cultivate the qualities of global citizens befitting the status of the Republic of Korea, the only country in the world that has transitioned from an aid recipient to a donor nation."
