International Leadership Conference for Students in Vietnam
Who Are We?
Humanitarian Affairs UK has been organizing the USLS for the past 7 years. We are a member of the World Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (WANGO), the United Nations Global Compact, the World Alliance for Citizens Participation and the International Association for Volunteer Effort. Our goal is to make future leaders understand the importance in using their distinctive skills and knowledge for the betterment of society. For more information, visit our Website.
What is the USLS?
The USLS is week-long international leadership conference in social change. Over 1,000 delegates from more than 60 countries will collaborate and learn from humanitarian experts and foreign dignitaries. They will participate in workshops organized by UN agencies and do fieldwork in an emerging ASEAN country. The USLS will not only expose delegates to global issues but motivate them to search for solutions. The 7th USLS is endorsed by the UN and supported by the Assistant Director-General for Education of UNESCO, Dr. Qian Tang.
How do Students Benefit?
This program will give students the opportunity to develop their international network to include over 1,000 like-minded future leaders and several inspiring public figures. The connections they make will expand their worldviews and encourage them to become globally-minded leaders and thinkers. They will see the importance in applying their education to a globalizing world. The USLS will give students hands-on humanitarian experience, setting them apart from their peers. Attending USLS will also give delegates the opportunity to experience Vietnam in a unique way.
“My decision to participate at the USLS was certainly the right ones as the symposium has changed my perspective of how I should live my life. Not only that, I have the opportunity to interact with diverse groups of people from all corners of the world.”
