I COMMIT!
The Youth Leadership Development Program I COMMIT 17 is implemented by FPT University and Center for Sustainable Development Studies (CSDS) with funding from Irish Aid. The program creates a space for ideas of changing the community to come true through training providing knowledge, skills, and attitudes. I Commit aims to improve leadership, ability to act, commit and inspire among young people when facing social problems. Specifically, the program goals are as follows:
Personal Development – “What kind of person do I want to become?”:
Participants will learn about their values and abilities, build a new perspective to maximize their abilities as well as build a spirit of initiative, action, and commitment to the goals to make positive change. Through experiential activities and real projects coordination, young people will discover and draw lessons for their own development.
Making an impact – “I want the world to be…”:
Participants in the program will gather into groups and commit to spreading the influence of the training to the community by initiating social projects. Each group will be guided by an experienced “coach” who will provide information, support, and guidance to team members, helping the team achieve the desired results after the project.
After 16 successful I COMMIT programs, for the first time, FPT University and Center for Sustainable Development Studies cooperate to organize an I Commit program exclusively for students at FPT University.
