Preparation for Life is a feature segment of the feature New Lifestyle, produced by the News Department of Vietnam Television, which provides young people with study and career orientation and inspires them to think about and take action to support personal and community development.

Through the programme, we aim to:

  • Showcase those young people who represent a new way of living; who are interested and committed to contributing to society in many fields, including arts, education, and innovation; and who are responding to climate change and other critical social issues in Viet Nam.
  • Call for youth participation in joining hands with local communities to tackle climate and environmental challenges proactively.
  • Promote our involvement, through the UK's expertise in building skills for young people to contribute to tackling social issues in Viet Nam.
  • Create opportunities for collaboration between UK and Vietnamese youth organisations, Higher Education Institutions, and other relevant entities.

The ten episodes of this series focus on Vietnamese youth with modern lifestyles –interested and committed to contributing their values in many fields, including arts, education, and innovations that solve climate, environmental, and social challenges in Viet Nam. The series demonstrates new initiatives to address climate change, environmental, and social issues, that young people or young leaders are implementing through projects funded by the British Council.
