PARTICIPANTS

We are looking for social changemakers, student leaders, and other individuals who are actively engaged in their communities - 8 from Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City) and 2 from Taiwan.

PURPOSE

We want to collect human lessons from a diverse group of people in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and document them. The documentation and designing of their life lessons as an interactive and performance-based model which is easy to interpret and personalize will help us develop the art of seeing us as more alike than unalike. Someone has already lived the lesson before sharing it to enlighten, inspire and inform someone else in the world. It is real and raw.

Understanding any kind of wisdom through the lens of life lessons is significant because it eliminates the creation of stereotypes and transcends cultural context. It facilitates long term understanding and analysis of experiences to navigate through challenges; a more solution-oriented approach to living. It is also crucial in defining the statistically quantified character of the challenges.

CONTENT

The one week project will focus on themes of inclusion, diversity, empathy and human connectedness providing a creative outlet to an unresolved feeling generated from insensitivity or lack of empathy. Through personalized interviews, sessions, dynamic curriculum and modules and talks. Sharing these human-interest stories on wider platforms like social media will be a monumental part of the trip.

At the end of the course, the participants will conduct workshops for a diverse range of high-school students, college students, and working corporates.
