Through seminars, the organizers also aim to build and connect youth networks to jointly implement initiatives for the community.
Talking about the reason for organizing the program, Ms. NTH - who has more than 20 years of experience in founding and leading non-profit development organizations and initiatives in Vietnam shared: “There are seeds of growth in each of us, whether working in any field, whether in government, business or in social organizations. VTX (VSF) and I built the Initiative "Development Incubator" with the desire to share and promote the seeds of development in each person. We also expect that after the seminars, each young person will shape a growth mindset, build the right direction for their ideas and initiatives.”
Three seminars were held online and attracted the participation of more than 60 young leaders interested in the topic of community development, including DynaGen students. In addition to sharing knowledge about development philosophy, discourse, and design thinking, young people have the opportunity to interact with speakers who have had many domestic and international experiences.
