Bring-back seminar of Wonder Vogel Training II (WVII) was held after the entrance ceremony of GFR on April 2, 2025.

14 students participated in the FY 2024 WVII for 11 days from February 18 to 27, 2025. We visited shrimp farming in rice paddies, estuary weirs, and mango farms in Vietnam. With the full cooperation of Can Tho University, we were able to have a lively exchange with Can Tho University students as well!

WVII participants summarized the results of their practical training and reported in English. The presentation was very meaningful as it provided a detailed summary of the local situation in Vietnam, from agriculture and environment to food culture. As expected of a second-year master’s student! We are proud of our second-year master’s students! It was a good opportunity for the new students to learn about the practical training in advance.
