The past four days have been a whirlwind of emotions as we opened our arms to the Japanese students, eager to learn and exchange experiences with them. It has been an invaluable experience that will stay with us forever, leaving a lasting impact on our hearts. Together we: - Discussed deeply with each other about the topics of fast fashion and environmental protection - Applied pieces of knowledge through activities: picking up trash at Nguyen Tat Thanh beach with the Hoa Nhap Xanh group, classifying and recycling fabric waste, building ideas for environmental protection projects, etc. .. ♻️ ⏳Despite the occasional barriers of language and culture, there is a palpable sense of warmth, understanding, and interconnectedness among the people involved. The shared values of friendliness, empathy, openness, love, and mutual learning for a common goal have formed a strong bond that transcends national boundaries, age differences, and external appearances. This bond is especially evident in the relationship between Japanese students and disabled women at the center. Despite any initial differences, they have come together and formed a deep connection based on respect and acceptance. It is a beautiful example of how genuine human connection knows no limits and can bridge any perceived divides. As they worked alongside disabled women at CORMIS, Japanese students gained practical experience and a deeper understanding of how to integrate people with disabilities in the workplace and in environmental protection efforts within the community. The harmonious and optimistic spirit displayed by these women left a lasting impression on the students. Additionally, the study tour provided a unique opportunity for youth from both countries to immerse themselves in each other's cultures through traditional games and lively performances of music and dance from Vietnam and Japan. As our 4-day journey with CORMIS comes to an end, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of you who have joined us. Your presence and participation have been an invaluable contribution, and we hope this experience will continue to inspire Japanese students on their path ahead. Let us carry the spirit of connection and integration into our larger community as we work towards building a more beautiful world together for everyone. ✨See you again in the next exciting youth activities at CORMIS.
