On July 25, 2025, the Gala Dinner marked the heartfelt conclusion of Blue Steps 2025, a lively cultural exchange program between students from SunMoon University in South Korea and Duy Tan University in Vietnam. Held in a warm and emotional setting, the Gala was more than a goodbye—it was a cherished moment that celebrated the deep connections formed between the two cultures.

For four weeks, SunMoon students joined engaging Vietnamese and English language classes, thoughtfully crafted by faculty from Duy Tan University’s School of Linguistics and Social Sciences (LHSS). These classes went beyond traditional lessons, encouraging lively discussions, hands-on activities, and rich cultural experiences that helped Korean students quickly feel at home in their new environment.

Outside the classroom, team-building events, cultural activities, visits to iconic landmarks in Da Nang and Hue, and open conversations with Duy Tan students built strong friendships and mutual respect among the young participants from both nations.

The Blue Steps 2025 Gala was not just a closing event but a touching finale to a journey filled with warmth and connection. Heartfelt words, warm hugs, and lingering looks filled the stage and every moment of the Gala night.

With years of experience hosting international exchange programs, LHSS provides excellent academic courses while fostering a vibrant, diverse cultural and academic environment. It inspires international students to explore and value Vietnam’s people and heritage.

A goodbye may bring tears, but it also paves the way for stronger future ties. Blue Steps 2025 does not truly end—it will live on through many more meaningful international exchanges in the years ahead.
