Van Lang University students engage in cultural exchange and debates with international peers

As part of the tour and cultural exchange program between Van Lang University and Paris-Est Créteil University (UPEC), Vietnamese and French students exchanged various interesting perspectives on economics.

On May 7, 2024, Business and Management students from Paris-Est Créteil University (UPEC, France) and Van Lang University students came together for an exchange program. They engaged in various activities and lively debates on various fascinating economic topics.

In the vibrant discussions, students eagerly shared their strong opinions and arguments on the relationship between government and the market, the global implementation of universal basic income (UBI), and the impact of globalization on national development.

The support team, composed of students from the International Education Institute at Van Lang University, had provided specific evidence showing Vietnam's economic development from the subsidy period to the socialist-oriented market economy, affirming the effectiveness and positive impact that the government brings through reasonable policies and regulations.

Students from VLU and UPEC agreed that globalization significantly influences the development of nations. The risk of cultural assimilation when receiving foreign cultures is especially not selective. Mama - a UPEC student emphasized: “Globalization can transform the original culture if the recipient lacks careful screening. More seriously, the cultural identity of that nation and country can be affected and disappear if it is not properly inherited, preserved and valued.”

As part of the exchange program, UPEC student group had the chance to visit Van Lang University, learn about its history and development, and experience the daily life and learning environment of Vietnamese students.

Furthermore, alongside engaging in exchanges with UPEC students, Van Lang University proactively fosters numerous avenues for students to interact and learn from international peers across various disciplines. The university's open and interconnected learning environment provides a conducive platform for students to enhance their critical thinking, skill sets, and foster academic collaborations with international friends.
