PART I: PROJECT INTRODUCTION.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION.

Vietnam, a beautiful country with marvelous landscape and culture, is on its way to adapt with the fast

pace of globalization and world changing development. After years of wars and the afterward

reconstruction, Vietnam has done a good job bringing education and economy to a higher level, which

helps a lot in empowering the new generations to develop and make change to the new world. Still, the

huge population, the disparity, together with the lack of skills and knowledge are now the problems

that we have to confront to make a leap toward a brighter future. One obvious issue we are facing is

the lack of international knowledge, global interaction and essential interpersonal communication skills.

WHAT are we going to do about it?

AIESEC, with the vision of peace and fulfillment of humankind potential, came to Vietnam in 2006 and

is doing our best to improve the situation. Coming up with the initiative of educating university students

about society, culture, business… in a global experience perspective, AIESEC FTU HN proudly introduces

Global Passport project, with our belief to make a positive change in our society by making impact on

the youth through our learning courses.

results to them.

different market, with differently thinking style customers. To make sure the course will be executed

successfully, interns will have to propose promotion plan and implement it under the supervision of OC

to deliver it, and afterwards know what needs to be changed for better performance.

internal and external meetings related to Project.

Besides that, for we always want to give our international friends the best experience in Vietnam, we

introduce our Intern Challenge Campaign as a way to integrate them deeper into Vietnamese culture

and life style. Our challenges will be some surprising tasks that make our interns jump out there and

discover more about Vietnam. This will be counted as an official JD.

PART III: AMAZING VIETNAM!

Although many westerners still imagine Vietnam through the lens of war, it is in reality a country filled

with captivating natural beauty and tranquil village life. Its highlands and rainforest regions, far from

being devastated, continue to yield new species and team with exotic wildlife. Its islands and beaches

are among the finest in all of Southeast Asia, and its cuisine is very possibly the most delicious you will

ever find. Over two decades have passed since Vietnam was officially united, and in that time it has

done a remarkable job of healing its wounds. Today, this gracious and graceful country is an outstanding

travel destination.

A. Places you should visit.
