In a joyful and proud atmosphere celebrating the 5th anniversary of the establishment of Vietnam – Korea University of Information and Communication Technology, University of Da Nang (UD-VKU), (January 3, 2020 – January 3, 2025), and looking forward to the 80th anniversary of the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (September 2, 1945 – September 2, 2025), VKU held its 2025 Team Building program under the theme “Aspiration to Reach New Heights” during the final weekend of July with great energy, enthusiasm, and emotion. This was not only an annual summer trip, but also a special event that fostered team bonding, spread the spirit of unity, inspired and motivated all staff and lecturers to look back on VKU’s five-year journey of establishment and development, while aiming toward a future of VKU: Go Global – Lead the Future.

The 2025 Team Building program was organized on a large and well-prepared scale, with the full participation of VKU’s staff and their families – beloved members of the big VKU family. This was a rare occasion for the entire university to connect, share, and experience meaningful moments together, reflecting the strong internal culture of solidarity and understanding – a key factor behind VKU’s success over the past five years.

VKU’s five-year journey marks a significant period of construction and strong development. From a newly established institution formed by merging units with long-standing traditions, VKU has quickly affirmed its unique identity and educational philosophy based on the values of “Humanity – Dedication – Liberation.” The university has built a high-quality faculty team and an inspiring academic environment, earning trust and recognition from society and learners. Outstanding achievements in education, scientific research, international cooperation, academic publications, and infrastructure development have shaped VKU into a dynamic, creative institution ready for global integration and future expansion.

This Team Building program continued to spread that spirit – where every VKU member not only looked back on the proud achievements but also shared belief and aspiration for the journey ahead. With the theme “Go Global – Lead the Future”, all activities were designed to enhance interaction, strengthen teamwork, and convey the message of connection – pioneering – and integration.

Lively team building activities…

Exciting activities such as the men’s football game and team-based physical games energized the atmosphere, bringing laughter, joy, and unforgettable memories to all participants. Challenges like “Joining Hands”, “Pioneering the Way”, and “The Power of Unity” were creatively designed as a journey across the sea – overcoming waves and storms to reach the goal of sustainable development. Each team and each individual contributed to the program’s success through their spirit of solidarity, creativity, and responsibility – core values that have made VKU a strong team over the past 5 years.

Team building awards were presented to the outstanding teams

A particularly unforgettable highlight was the vibrant and heartwarming Gala Night. With lively music, fun games, heartfelt sharing, and the wholehearted participation of every member, the Gala became a space that connected hearts and sparked positive energy for the journey ahead.

In his emotional speech during the Gala, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Huynh Cong Phap – Rector of VKU – shared: “Five years may not be a long time, but it is a meaningful milestone for VKU. Together, we’ve overcome many early challenges, and today we can look back with pride at a more mature, stronger VKU that is increasingly growing, becoming stronger and affirming its position. On this special occasion, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all staff and lecturers of the university – those who have contributed their dedication, intelligence, and determination to building VKU into a reputable institution as it is today. I also extend heartfelt thanks to the family members of our staff – the silent supporters who have always stood behind us, sharing and encouraging, providing a solid foundation for us to fully commit to our mission in education. It is this love and companionship that gives us the strength to continue moving forward, to break through and reach farther on the road ahead.”

The success of the program was the result of the close direction from the Party Committee and University Board of Rectors, the close coordination between the Trade Union and other units, and the responsible, enthusiastic participation of every individual. This is a vivid demonstration of the collective strength of VKU – a united, open-minded community, always ready to innovate and contribute to the university’s development, for the benefit of learners and society.

As the 2025 Team Building “VKU – Aspiration to Reach New Heights” program came to a close, it left behind not only beautiful memories but also a renewed sense of pride in every member for the institution they belong to and contribute to. From the strong foundation built in the first five years, VKU will continue to move forward with confidence – constantly innovating, growing, and reaching out to the wider world – in line with its mission: Pioneering – Integrating – Leading the Future.
