This activity is maintained by UEF every year. The university does not only offer professional training, but it also cooperates with organizations that care for material and mental life to create the best learning and developing environment for students. Students are the key factors to tighten more solidarity as well as a long-standing and undissolvable friendship between two countries. 

Laos students express their appreciation for enthusiastic aid from lecturers and friends, and opportunities to join many activities, helping them to be more open-minded and confident after studying at UEF.
