The seminar “Skills in identifying and analyzing current affairs issues” was successfully held at the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam, attracting the participation of numerous lecturers and students interested in current affairs, scientific research, and international relations. This activity was part of the DynaGen Initiative, Season 6, implemented by For Vietnamese Stature Foundation (VSF) in collaboration with the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam.

At the seminar, students had the opportunity to listen to insights from two experienced speakers in research, teaching, and analysis of political and international relations issues:

Prof. Dr. Hoang Khac Nam - Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Political Science and International Studies, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU Hanoi.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Do Thi Thuy - Acting Head of Editorial and Management Department, Science, Information and International Research Journal Division, Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam.

Drawing on their research and teaching experience, the two speakers offered practical perspectives on identifying current issues, methods for approaching and selecting information from large amounts of data on current platforms, and how to analyze issues objectively, from multiple perspectives, and with a solid foundation.

In addition to gaining specialized knowledge, students were also encouraged to develop critical thinking and the ability to connect information from various fields. These are increasingly essential skills for young people in a context where information changes rapidly and is easily influenced by social media trends.

The program became even more lively with the direct exchange between the speakers and students. Questions revolving around research methods, information verification, selecting reliable sources, and skills in analyzing international issues not only help students better understand the research and analysis process but also encourage them to proactively observe, learn, and form their own perspectives on current events.
