Mr. Laurence Lingat Ramos (BS Development Communication) and Mr. Carl Danielle Cabuhat (BS Psychology) have been selected by Kyushu University (Japan) and Mahidol University (Thailand) to participate in the ASEAN in Today’s World (AsTW) 2023 to be held at Mahidol University, Thailand from March 12 to 24, 2023.
The AsTW 2023, co-organized by Mahidol University and Kyushu University with the strong support of the ASEAN Secretariat, is a two-week international study program focused on ASEAN and East Asian affairs designed for undergraduate students around the world.
As recipients of the Kyushu University scholarship, both students will experience a fully-covered program fee which includes tuition fees for two AsTW courses; some meals/banquets during the program; accommodation; group airport pick-up/drop-off; and study tour fees.
The AsTW curriculum consists of ASEAN Studies (AS) and Asian Languages & Cultures (ALC) courses, supplemented by co-curricular Study Trips, providing students with enriched and unique learning opportunities.
In line with this, through the AS courses, students will be able to enhance their knowledge and get a greater grasp of ASEAN and "ASEAN+3" collaboration and have the chance to explore ASEAN and East Asian concerns from various perspectives as a significant aspect of the curriculum.
On the other hand, the ALC course provides students with an intensive Asian language study experience meant to enhance competency in the selected language and to aid in the acquisition of a fundamental understanding of the linked culture. Students will get a broad awareness of each language's culture and sociolinguistic background.
