Since I received an application form I have read conditions and syllabus of the course, I did not hesitate to apply and this is my first time to apply IATSS Forum. The concept that impressed and makes me more excited is the concept of the program “Thinking and Learning together”. I am enjoyable, touched and thankful to be one of two nominees from Lao PDR to join the marvelous program. IATSS Program opens an opportune forum for young professionals for ASEAN countries to share new ideas and their own experience for going forwards. Hopefully IATSS Program will be treasured forever in my life; I will meet more friends from ASEAN countries as well as Japanese who will be warmly host and leading the exchanges. Moreover, I will find preservation culture, civilized societies, stable growing economics, high technology and modernized lifestyle in Japan. In addition, I will absolutely get valuable wisdom and worthily information from the forum. Frankly saying, I feel eager and delighted to meet all of participants, facilitators and smart trainers those come from different places, varying culture and various occupations, but all of us will be staying with thinking and learning together by searching solutions and achievements for step forwards. I strongly believe that for 57 days of the session, I will spend this wealthy opportunity to learn, practice, exchange, and develop my skills by sharing ideas, thought and knowledge with my team and others to gain new experience, several of interpersonal and intercultural knowledge from each other and this program will bring me to touch of leadership, friendship and interrelationship more and more between ASEAN nations and Japan. Furthermore, I feel happy to face a warmly family with touching of modest beautiful culture and customary during “Home Stay”, from this I may have a chance to introduce and exchange culture of Lao and Japanese. From the concept of “Thinking and Learning Together” of course, IATSS Forum will teach and transform me to be a new generation who is plenty of knowledge, creative and high new skills, when I come back to my office I might utilize all of these things to develop and building capacity for my organization as well as my community. I am going forward to see all of you with most of enthusiasm and excitement in Japan….Yeh Yeh..ຯຯຯ.
