Taking place amidst the vibrant atmosphere of the early days of the new year, under the warm golden sunlight, the program offered USSH students a close-knit, open experiential space where each person had the opportunity to pause amidst the busy pace of their academic lives to listen to themselves, reflect on their inner values, and orient themselves for the path ahead.
During the program, students participated in a series of diverse experiential activities, scientifically designed and led by experts from the Inner Space Center. A highlight was the "Value Wheel" activity, which helped students discover their unique inherent qualities. Through this activity, each student received a corresponding Value Card and was guided on how to nurture, develop, and flexibly apply their personal values in their studies, life, and future careers.
The "10-Second Quiz: Who You Are" activity created a lively and exciting atmosphere as students quickly identified their personality types, lifestyles, and current priorities. From this, they gained a clearer understanding of their strengths, areas for improvement, and how to properly invest in their personal potential.
In addition, content such as "The Tree of Life," "10 Tools to Overcome Challenges," and "A Moment of Relaxation" helped students access simple yet effective methods for managing emotions, relieving stress, and coping with academic and life pressures. With just one minute of intentional relaxation, many students shared feelings of lightness, peace, and reconnecting with their inner positive energy.
A special highlight of the program was the feedback area, where over 100 students left handwritten messages after their experience. These small, colorful pieces of paper, pieced together to form a genuine emotional picture, clearly reflected the program's impact. Many students expressed surprise at having the opportunity to "understand themselves better," "know what they need to change," "learn how to cope with stress," or "gain more motivation for 2026." Numerous messages emphasized feeling listened to, understood, and given a safe space to reflect on themselves.
The "I Am Unique" activities and the "My Little Plan 2026" initiative continue to inspire students' initiative, self-discipline, and sense of personal goal setting. The process of personally choosing qualities they want to cultivate, documenting their plans for the new year, and taking commemorative photos with positive messages has transformed the experience beyond mere emotion into concrete action.
Through this program, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities continues to affirm its comprehensive concern for the spiritual life and sustainable development of its students, alongside its professional training mission. In the future, the University plans to continue collaborating with the Inner Space Center to organize experiential programs with many practical themes such as: Understanding and managing emotions; Rising from within – Building self-worth and genuine self-esteem; Igniting the spirit and relieving stress; What path should I take – 2026?; Harmonizing relationships...
More than just an experiential activity, the program has left a positive impact, contributing to making USSH students more resilient internally and more proactive in their learning and personal growth, in line with the university's humanistic educational philosophy.
