Speak Up to The World!

The Story

Hi, I’m Sven! Currently I’m doing my pre-undergraduate programme CIMP at Sunway College. 
 
Recently I’m joining the volunteer event that's organised by AIESEC, Speak Up 9.0. This event aims to build up the confidence of the Malaysian youth to speak up to the world. 
 
Let's start with what piques my curiosity in attending this event. I constantly demotivate myself when it comes to speaking in English or any conversation involving English. I am afraid to speak in English because I feel that my proficiency in English is considered as substandard. As a result, I am reluctant to speak in English and often refuse to initiate a conversation. I recall being astonished at the first time I went to my class as everyone was speaking in English. At the time, I truly believed, "Is that all? Is it true that everyone in Sunway solely speaks English?" So I totally know the feeling and the struggle from being speaking in English.

Ultimately, this event is considered to be incredibly beneficial for teenagers and young adults. The event is organised to inspire, assist, and develop young people to speak up in English. STEAM education is essential in today's world. STEAM is an abbreviation that stands for science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. STEAM education and English proficiency are critical employability characteristics in the twenty-first century. I'm glad that I have this chance to volunteer in this event, to challenge myself and take this time to develop my confidence and help the youth to develop their confidence as well. As a MYV (Malaysia Youth Volunteers) we prepare workshop for the secondary students who age is between 15-18, aim to develop their technical and vocational skills by equips them with skills like video editing, public speaking and more. 

So what can you do? Donate as little as RM10 can make a great impact! Thank you!

哈喽大家好我是顺宏！ 目前我正在双威学院攻读本科预科课程 CIMP。
 
 最近我参加了一项由AIESEC 组织举办的志愿者活动，Speak Up 9.0。 这项活动的宗旨是为了建立马来西亚青年向世界发声的信心。
 
是什么原因让我想参加此活动呢？是因为每当我需要说英语或任何涉及英语的对话时，我总是提不起劲，想到自己的英文能力不佳时我就非常没有自信，常常因此感到自卑。 我害怕用英语说话，因为我觉得我的英语水平被认为是不合格的。 所以我不太愿意说英语，而且经常拒绝主动交谈。 我记得第一次去上课时一件让我感到很惊讶的事情是每个人竟然都在说英语，而且他们都说得非常流利。 当时我一度以为，“难道在双威的每个人都只会说英语吗？” 所以我完全了解非英语母语者说英语的痛苦和挣扎。

这项活动对青少年和年轻人非常有益！该活动致力于激励、帮助和培养年轻人说英语。  STEAM 教育在当今世界至关重要。  STEAM分别代表的是科学、技术、工程、艺术和数学的缩写。  STEAM 教育和英语能力是二十一世纪重要的就业能力特征。 我很高兴能有机会在这次活动中做志愿者，挑战自我，利用这段时间培养我的信心，同时也帮助年轻人培养他们的信心。 作为 MYV（马来西亚青年志愿者），我们为 15-18 岁的中学生准备工作坊，通过视频编辑、公开演讲等技能培养他们的技术和职业技能。

 所以，你可以做什么？ 只需捐出至少RM10 你就能产生巨大的影响！ 谢谢！
