10 days exchanged from Oxfam International Youth Partnership Conference
During 10 days with Oxfam International Youth Partnership conference i met hugely young people from countries around the world, some of them are students came from different faculty of Universities and some of them are working for community development, media, campaigner, environmental and human rights defender...
From those 10days i had very great opportunities to talk, exchange work experiences, hearing different global problems, reasons caused and solution methods that young people are implementing in their community. And very important i also took this chance to build global networking through sharing personal profile to each other and oral greeting. But sharing my personal profile was absolutely related to Mekong school where i spent half year in 2009 with Mekong friends and international teachers. Those times in Mekong school made me sensed about different problems, major reasons and solutions that some people are doing in their community which similarly to what Oxfam International Youth Partnership organized.
Being in system of training for trainer is very important as tools for disseminate lessons learnt for social positive change. I think Mekong school is very appropriate college to share my lesson learnt. So i came to Mekong school with 4 of my lessons learnt below:
1. Human Rights
2. Climate change and resilient to livelihood
3. Hearing method
4. Blogging across border
Lastly i may thanks very much to teacher Sabrina and Kelsey (previous volunteer 2009) both of them provided me information of Oxfam International Youth Partnership and gave me very closed advised during my application process and preparation. Never forget my thanks also go to Mekong school especially to alumni program that supported me my domestic transportation and medical treatment.
Marry Christmas for everyone in Mekong School
All the best
