Following the presentation sessions, international students shared their reflections on the knowledge and skills they had gained from the forum. “The forum brought together many great ideas, and I believe it is truly a valuable opportunity for young people to share their initiatives, research, and proposals—contributions that can help shape a better and more sustainable future. With participants from various Asian countries, each with different cultures and languages, I have become more open-minded, improved my communication skills, and developed a deeper sense of understanding. I truly appreciated the forum’s welcoming, open, and inclusive environment,” shared Shara Cabrera from FAITH Colleges (Philippines).
