Vietnamese Version of Magical Leaders launched with VIET: Zeeko

  • Zeeko, an Irish educational technology (EdTech) company, has unveiled the Vietnamese edition of the Magical Leaders program in collaboration with Vietnam's Institute for Education Technology. The main goal of this initiative is to enable students to develop their communication skills, encourage emotional self-regulation, promote teamwork, stimulate creative problem-solving, and foster critical thinking capabilities.

    After successfully conducting trials in schools in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City over the past year, Zeeko intends to roll out this program across Vietnam. The program, structured as an interactive game, ensures meaningful interaction with each student, accompanied by thorough teacher training and producing measurable learning outcomes.

    The Magical Leaders program by Zeeko is utilized by more than 10,000 students annually in both Ireland and Southeast Asia. Zeeko, a client company of NovaUCD, created the Magical Leaders program with financial support from Enterprise Ireland. Joe Kenny, the CEO and founder of Zeeko, expressed satisfaction in introducing the Vietnamese edition of Magical Leaders in collaboration with the Institute for Education Technology in Vietnam. He looks forward to implementing the Magical Leaders program in more schools throughout Vietnam.

    He further stated, "This inventive digital learning initiative not only imparts information but also fosters critical 21st-century skills interactively and engagingly. Created through collaboration between educational experts and teachers, the program seamlessly aligns with the Institute for Education Technology’s curriculum for middle schools focusing on Lifestyle Education. Its primary focus is on developing transferable skills, empowering students to navigate the evolving and unpredictable terrain made by innovations and artificial intelligence".
