Young Spikes Creative Academy a priceless experience for students

Participating in the Creative Academy in Singapore will benefit their careers for years to come, said two Bachelor of Communication (Professional Communication) students.

Cao Nha Dinh and Le Quoc Anh were two of only 15 students chosen to participate in the Creative Academy, a training program that aims to nurture the creative talents of students from the Asia Pacific region.

The two students met other young creatives from across South East Asia, learning from each other and working together to address social issues.  

“I could learn from everyone I spoke with and everything I saw,” Quoc Anh said.

The students attended seminars by big industry players such as Ogilvy & Mathers China, Cirkus Animation, AKQA and others.

Referring to the conference’s seminars, Anh said: “Each talk left me with the tingling sensation of overwhelming motivation, assuring me that my career choice as a communications practitioner was the right choice yet.”

"I plan to dedicate my whole life to using the learning from the workshop to further advance my communications and future career.”
