Description: Shawn is really passionate about cross-culture communication, youth empowerment, education and public speaking. Language exchange has opened a new door for him to benefit from diverse culture and develop critical thinking skills. Interested and inspired by SDG, he joined the 44th World Youth Rally in Korea and started to think about how we might be able to empower youth and provide suggestions on career planning better. In his spare time, he has been a core member of TEDxGuangzhou curation team for 4 years and was once a Junior Achievement voluntary career coach providing career advice for SYSU students. By joining this program, Shawn wants to enhance his cross-culture communication skills and build a command of how projects related to youth education are run in the U.S. and apply what he has learned in his own project in his community.
