From August 15 to 18, 2023, VinaCapital Foundation (VCF) and Vu A Dinh Scholarship Fund convene Brighter Path ethnic minority female students for the Annual Empowerment Meeting in Hanoi City.

In the academic year of 2022 – 2023, the Brighter Path students finished their third year of university successfully and enthusiastically participated in social activities. As university graduation comes next year, this summer all the girls are actively participating in internships and different graduation preparation projects to get ready for the new chapter in their lives.<\/p>\n

With the aim of celebrating a successful school year and to provide the girls with the best preparation for reaching the upcoming milestones, the Empowerment Meeting this year with the theme of \u201cProud to Shine\u201d gathers the 49 scholars from all over Vietnam to attend a comprehensive 4-day program in the capital city of Hanoi. A series of workshops and cultural activities held over four days will give the girls opportunities to explore and appreciate the history of Vietnam, meet and learn from inspiring leaders and experts, and gain essential skills to prepare for career development and personal growth.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The workshop sessions covered the following topics soft skills needed for the 21th<\/sup> century, career orientation, and how to avoid financial traps. The girls will visit historical locations including Ho Chi Minh\u2019s Mausoleum, Hoa Lo Prison Relic, Hai Ba Trung Temple, and Bat Trang Pottery Village to understand the thousand-year history of Hanoi’s heritage. At this year\u2019s Empowerment Meeting, the girls will visit the Presidential Palace and meet with Madam Vo Thi Anh Xuan \u2013 Vice President of Vietnam to learn more about her journey, her commitment to Vietnam, and learn more about the government of Vietnam. With a strong belief in the young generation of the country, Madam Anh Xuan encourages all the girls to support the government in their endeavors, excel in individually and overcome adversity to contribute to their country.<\/p>\n
