The winners of Vincamp will take part in many student exchange activities, learning skills that will benefit them in their quest to become global citizens, as well as discovering the wonderful country, culture and people of the UK. They will be visiting famous historical places such as the University of Cambridge campuses, Big Ben Tower, Buckingham Palace, the Harry Potter film set, London Eye, experiencing the Thames River cruise, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, and so on.
Vincamp is an annual summer camp organized by Vinschool, a member of Vingroup, for students of Vinschool Education System from the ages of 10-17.
This year’s theme “proactive learning – student leadership”, has attracted many students with nearly 140 projects submitted. VinCamp 2017 promises a diverse range of topics reflecting Vinsers’ concern and solutions of issues that affect the community around them. The projects focus on improving student learning efficiency in different disciplines by applying skills such as conflict resolution, or self-management skills.
In the aftermath of the recent abuses in child protection reported in the news, some students also chose to tackle different areas of this issue, coming up with creative and practical solutions. Some groups designed bilingual handbooks to instruct their peers of signs and solutions of child abuse situations. They are also constantly exploring ways to apply technology and social media to raise public awareness on sexual abuse and ways to mobilize the community to act and ensure a safe environment for children.
The distinctive difference of VinCamp 2017 is that candidates will work in groups (instead of on their own) to improve their teamwork skills – one of the essential skills of the 21st century. The judges will also assess the results of project instead of only assessing the idea. This will encourage students to propose projects that are practical, and applicable to the community. In addition, one of the criteria is that all documents and reports on project results, as well as video clips must be done in English.

Mr Phan Anh – Principal of Vinschool High school said: “Through Vincamp, Vinschool expects to motivate and equip students with self-study skills to help them build up fundamental knowledge and solid skills to adapt with constant changes in the future as well as get ready to integrate into the global community”./.
