In line with “Be Local, Be Global”, the theme of this year’s International Youth Leaders’ Summit, this trip has enabled the youths to experience cross-cultural collaboration. Being an ambassador of Singapore and of their own institutions gave the participants the opportunity to learn to cultivate a global mindset and inclusive attitude towards social integration and cohesion.
