AXIS OF EVIL team has had a presentation evaluated as convincing and updated about the “Annual International Day of Anti-Epidemic Preparedness” which falls on December 27. The day is a novel initiative started by Vietnam and adopted by the United Nations at the beginning of last December.
“Global citizen” has been so far not an uncommon concept. However, the journey to becoming a global citizen requires more diverse experience and skills than what students are taught at educational establishments. The competition aims at supporting practical activities that benefit society, especially the future talents, thereby Vietnamese university students have been inspired and aspirated to build a sustainable community.
