The program's highlights include exposure to local customs, traditions, and developmental initiatives, ensuring participants comprehensively understand the regions they visit. Additionally, it encourages young people to engage with technology, further enhancing their skill sets.
As the registration deadline approaches, the Education Ministry urges all eligible youth to seize this opportunity to participate in an initiative that promotes personal growth and contributes to the broader goal of national integration.
