What is the program actually about?
Personal Leadership
For us, leadership is first about finding your own path in life - which requires slowing down, reflecting about where you are, exploring what you truly want and getting a glimpse of what life calls you to do. These questions are best explored when one has time, space and a supportive community.
|
Positive Impact
"How can I best contribute positively to the world around me?" Our wish is not only to foster inspiration by meeting local social innovators, but also to invite you into a hands on Design Thinking process to practice going from idea to action.
|
Collaboration
To tackle the challenges our planet is facing, being able to use collective intelligence in situation of complexity is a must-have skill. That's why you will be invited to practice what the best version of human collaboration can be, with processes that allow diversity, trust and care to be at the core.
|
How do we design it?
Action-Based Learning
Getting up from our chairs and working on real-life projects is at the core of our way of learning and being. One of our favourite tools for that is Design Thinking, and you will have a chance to practice it on a concrete project.
|
Reflection & Sense Making
We learn not only from experience, but also from reflecting on these experiences.This is why we incorporate reflection time, to make sense of our individual and collective journeys.

Why should you choose Vietnam as your next destination?
Over the past 50 years, Vietnam has transformed from a war-torn country to a bustling land of opportunities and innovation. The country is going into a huge transition: thousands of years of history and tradition are being merged with a globalized economy and a new system of values.
In this context, the young generation is facing several challenges: how to orientate ourselves in this fast-changing society? How to address the serious environmental issues we are facing?
To answer these challenges, a booming field of social entrepreneurs is rising all over Vietnam - there is an abundance of grassroots movements and local innovation stories, that are just waiting to be shared with the world.
But don't take our words for it,
Become part of what is really going on here and let yourself be surprised and inspired.

I find Knowmads a very intuitive & profound program where the coolest, the most kind-hearted, the most mindful and the most like-minded of people get together, practice, learn and experience stuffs. You don’t get a place like that a lot in our everyday life. |
Knowmads Learning Journey is a program where you will join with a group of facilitators and friends to discover topics like sustainability, self-development and leadership. For me, it’s like a journey to connect with myself, understand and reinforce my values. |
In my opinion, what we learned (and keep learning since the program) is so relevant to live in our world evolving faster than ever! Knowmads helped me to redefine my personal compass. It also gave me a lot of concrete practices to better collaborate and to make a good use of my strengths. And since the program, I definitely trust more the process and let go of my expectations or limiting beliefs. |
