What is the program actually about? 

Personal Leadership

Picture
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

Picture
"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

Picture
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

Picture
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

Picture
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.
-  Kieu Bao Duy (Vietnam) / Knowmads Hanoi Team 10 Alumna
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.

Bach Duong (Vietnam) / Knowmads Hanoi Team 10 Alumna 
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.

Sounds like something you want to be part of? 

Sweet! Here is what we can already tell you

⚪️ Knowmadic Trail Tribe 1 is planned to happen from August 4th - 17th, 2019.

⚪️ We aim for 20 participants, from as many different countries as possible - which means limitation to the number of people from a same nationality that may join.

⚪️ We have estimated the cost per participant around USD 1,800, including everything except transportation between where you live and Hanoi, visa, your personal expenses during the trip and extra activities that you decide to take that is not part of the plan.
​

The exact fee will be announced together with application form

Please note that we are experimenting new ways of dealing with money - we aim for an economic scheme that allows us to be paid for our work while not keeping anyone away because of finance. If you find this program definitely the right thing for you at the right time, but finance may be a barrier, we are always open for conversations.

⚪️ How can I join?  Very simple, in three steps:
1/ Fill in an application which is also an opportunity to reflect on your own journey. The application will be open from end of February.
2/ Have a short interview with us to get to know each other better.  
​3/ 
If you are in, get your visa, book your tickets and pack your luggage. Bon voyage!
