When we first came up with the idea of this “I am a climate citizen” workshop
we only intended to train the leaders in our own coordinating team
But if we did that, the whole campaign could not spread nation-wide
Therefore, we decided to extend the number of target trainees
to include every young person from all provinces and cities across the nation
who is passionate about doing something for the environment
And I also hope that after this workshop
these leaders will incorporate the skills, knowledge, plans and experience they have learned and shared
into establishing their own movements in their local areas
I think that would play a critical role in ensuring the success for a national campaign
Everyone can be a leader but being a good leader is totally different
What I’ve acquired the most are the inspiration from the speakers
the practical stories from Ms. Hong and other leaders
Climate change is the topic that interests me the most
Knowledge about environmental protection and climate change
is what I have learned for the first time and want to improve
I’ve always been excited about movements that work for the community and climate change
I think this workshop is the first and fundamental step
to equip these young people with the necessary knowledge and skills
in order to be confident in communicating and informing their local residents about climate change
Over the past few days, I have learned a lot of experiences by living together with other leaders for 4 days and 4nights
We lived together in quite simple physical facilities but we all felt the cozy atmosphere
We ate, lived and learned together
To be honest, I’m not a scientist nor an expert in climate change
I am just a person who wants to do something, to raise the awareness of, to call for and to inspire the youth
so that they can do the same thing that I’m trying to do
The purpose of this training workshop is not to provide profound and specialized knowledge on the topic
but mostly about sharing my own experiences on how I have been involved in these movements for years
And I think that those experiences are something very personal, very practical and easy to comprehend
for those leaders so that they can learn from my mistakes and organize their own movements
From the North to the South, from Thai Nguyen Province to Ca Mau City
during the time of the workshop, we were able to get in touch and share our own ideas
about environmental protection projects with one another
Therefore, we can assist and help one another in their project to protect the local environments
I really want to bring the knowledge, the skills, and the attitude that I’ve learned here back to my local area to inspire other people
