On the afternoon of December 15, 2024, at the Alpha AIA office - 7th floor, Royal Tower B, the tourism- education project "Traveling the World with Your Child" launched the music video "The Magic Santa Village," performed by mixed-race children, conveying a message about the magic of love and sharing for mutual growth.
This also marks the beginning of the "Road to Global Citizen" campaign, which aims to provide a comprehensive training program and open opportunities for 66 students to obtain international scholarships at top-ranked universities worldwide each year.
As the world shifts and everything changes rapidly, ensuring a good life for their children in adulthood remains a key concern for parents. With Vietnam's thriving economy , affluent and forward-thinking families are increasingly choosing to send their children to international schools, or even to study abroad in academically advanced countries such as the United States, Canada, Finland, Singapore, China, and Japan.
However, ensuring that children can win entrance exams, secure prestigious scholarships, and integrate and thrive in those countries is a challenge, as in reality, many international students return to Vietnam each year after their families have spent considerable sums of money supporting their studies abroad.

Based on this reality, as a social enterprise aiming to develop education according to global standards and equalize education for all, especially supporting and providing opportunities for children with autism spectrum disorder, the advisory board of "Traveling the World with Your Child" has launched the "Road to Global Citizen" campaign to provide effective solutions, minimize risks and save money for parents, and maximize the potential of students.
To implement this campaign, the social enterprise "Traveling the World with Children" has collaborated with the Youth Pioneer & Children's Newspaper to bring the program to 30 junior high schools in Ho Chi Minh City. This includes expert presentations and online competitions at each school to identify talented students and award at least 999 scholarships in the 2024-2025 school year. The program is also planned to expand to other provinces and cities starting in the summer of 2024.

“We are committed to developing students' academic skills alongside global life skills, especially those in public schools. In this era of globalization, proficiency in more than one foreign language, along with critical thinking, problem-solving skills, linguistic abilities, and a lifestyle that allows for integration into the real world, is crucial. The next generation of global citizens needs to build upon the best practices of previous generations, undertaking great projects based on knowledge and gratitude towards the world. By participating in the “Road to Global Citizen” campaign of “Traveling the World with Your Child,” students will be trained by experienced and dedicated education professionals worldwide to improve their academics, physical well-being, and positive lifestyle. The programs proposed by CCĐKTG and in collaboration with global educational institutions such as iStudio International English Institute and Geniebook are the starting point for this journey.” "Cultivating knowledge, practicing sports with Goley Vietnam, and improving physical fitness with a health and nutrition monitoring program. We truly believe that this campaign will help Vietnam extend its academic map on the world stage," said Ms. Truong Ngoc Minh Dang, Founder and CEO of the social enterprise "Traveling the World with Your Child."

Developing critical thinking skills is impossible without Mathematics and Science – the foundation of all great achievements in the world. However, to transform the learning of these two seemingly dry subjects into a passion for students, Geniebook applies AI technology to personalize and accurately analyze students' strengths and weaknesses. Combined with a bank of over 300,000 questions on Thinking Math, English, and Science based on the standards of the Singapore Ministry of Education, it designs a learning path tailored to each student's abilities. This helps students improve their analytical and reasoning skills, problem-solving abilities, and communication confidence, bringing them closer to their goal of becoming global citizens. Furthermore, students receive holistic development through an ecosystem including the GenieSmart practice question set, GenieClass online classes, and the GenieAsk one-on-one support application from Geniebook. This support is not only beneficial for their studies but also provides a solid foundation for them to confidently enter the international environment and contribute to the next generation of talented young people, shared Jovi Huynh, Event & Partnership Marketing Manager.
The language barrier is a major obstacle not only for children but also a concern for parents, as they are unable to communicate directly with native speakers as tourists or when planning to accompany their children during their studies abroad. Understanding parents' needs, IStudio offers a "Practical English" program with a learning roadmap starting from IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), direct 1:1 online lessons with teachers, and IELTS exam preparation. This program aims to help parents and office workers improve their pronunciation, master grammar, and create an environment for practicing reflexes, making language a key to unlocking numerous career opportunities and future development for all Vietnamese citizens in general, and parents aiming to send their children abroad for studies in particular. Ms. Pham Khuong Kim Ngoc, Director of Training at IStudio, confidently stated that IStudio's teaching methods not only boast a system of internationally qualified teachers currently working in schools worldwide but also apply STEM and modern educational principles updated according to international developments.

Educating children to become global citizens is not only the mission of "Traveling the World with Your Child" but also the responsibility and expectation of every parent. To achieve this, parents need to carefully prepare in terms of guidance, understand their child's abilities, and assess their family's financial situation in order to create an effective plan for supporting and developing their child.
At the press conference, Mr. Daniele Moretti – Teaching Partner for Global Knowledge, Skills, and Thinking at “Traveling the World with Your Child” – provided definitions of the essential skills students need to integrate with peers around the world and develop their potential. In addition, voice actress Thao Ngo, who is fluent in five languages, shared her secret to effective language learning: “Discipline and the Right Method.” According to Thao Ngo, while talent and passion are rare, having a goal and consistently pursuing it with the right approach will lead to success.
