Activity: Raising Public Awareness for Safe Food Consumption

The topic of the training program is timely and relevant because food safety is an urgent issue, a pressing concern especially in Vietnam. It is important to improve consumers’ awareness on food safety because it can also lead to a positive impact on production. One of the most valuable lessons I learned from this training and which I hope to adopt or practice in my work are the fve steps in communicating food safety. The training materials are all very clear and well-prepared. Everything is organized. I also like it here [in Khon Kaen University]. The environment is quiet, peaceful, no pollution; and we have a spacious room at MI.

I had once attended an MI training 14 years ago, and I think the main difference is that the training method is now more modernized. There is also a new building, and the conference room is spacious and big. MI is known in the CLMV for their training programs, and I am very happy to be able to join this training.

Economies in Transition for Mid-Level Managers

I am an old student that took part in an MI training workshop fifteen years ago and MI is a very good memory for me. I am so lucky to have been involved in a nine week training course and I feel this unforgettable memory during this period of workshops. I also remember there were several modules for learning, which, until now, these modules and learning cycles helped me a lot and influenced me in my life and my study. During that period of time, I felt a very exciting and colorful life, not only learning activities but also visiting programs, so it is a very good learning atmosphere.
