The event, organized by Lao Cai College under the auspices of the Regional English Language Office of the US Embassy in Hanoi, took place from June 5-9, 2023, focusing on the theme of leadership.

The Access English Summer Camp in Lao Cai will serve as a platform for Access Scholars to come together, exchange ideas and build cross-cultural connections. During the five-day event, participants will experience a variety of training sessions, field trips and cultural activities centered around leadership. This comprehensive program will enable students to develop leadership skills, improve their English proficiency and foster a deeper understanding of different cultures.

The Access English Summer Camp is a testament to the commitment of the Regional English Language Office of the U.S. Embassy Hanoi and its partners to empower young people through education and create global citizens. By connecting students and teachers from different countries, the event creates a vibrant space for collaboration and cultural exchange.

The Access Scholarship Program, funded by the U.S. Department of State, provides 360 hours of free English language instruction to disadvantaged youth ages 13-21 in more than 90 countries. The program aims to equip students with essential English language, information technology, and soft skills, thereby improving their access to educational and employment opportunities after graduation.

The Access Scholarship Program, along with other U.S. Mission English language initiatives, directly supports the Mission’s goal of expanding English language instruction to promote international integration and economic development. By empowering young individuals with the necessary language and technical skills, the program positively contributes to their future success and the development of their communities./.
