Two winners of KWN 2016 who are Alpha Secondary School with “The Scribble Picture” and Masterhand Children with “They talk to me, finally” had a very emotional trip with unforgettable memories. This was a chance for children to broaden their mind and be more conscious of their role in society.

Mr. Pham Xuan Son – the parent in charge of the team Alpha Secondary School shared: “As for me, KWN Global 2017 was a new and emotional trip. The activities under this program were planned and organized smartly by Panasonic which not only inspired the children to be aware of the role of their own voice in society, made them as global citizens but also helped us – the teacher and parents – to see clearly our responsibility that is being with our children in the way of growing up. Especially, I and the team had 5 days enjoying the lively and diversified cultural atmosphere. This will be the meaningful and unforgettable memory for all the members of KWN Vietnam 2017.”
