PERSONAL IMPRESSION

I have gained valuable lessons and it was amazing to see how a group of student from different background and disciplines can interact with each other and bring in such a variety of new and innovative perspective, it’s necessary to solve those problems through solution and contribution on each expertise.

How becoming part of the global community, sharing ideas with stakeholders, particularly government, and work with any countries in addressing the big issues to promote general welfare in the world.

After join to this International workshop, I am getting convinced that the future will be better, if every human being in the world is not selfish to think only about themselves, trying to be concerned with the surrounding community or the global community, and if any young man studying to be a global leader, and make the world better

Through this program I got best

opportunity to improve my capability in

communication and additional

knowledge/skill especially to support my

study in Japan. On the other hand,

through International Field Project in

Commonwealth of Dominica has opened

my thinking about role of international

organization issues, learned how to have

global competences and grassroots

understanding in supporting problem

solving process.

Thank You…..
