On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of its establishment, students and alumni of FPT University implemented a music project called "Reaching out to the country", gathering 50 young people from 5 training institutions nationwide. The album is released on digital platforms, including 6 songs with many different colors, associated with Vietnamese culture and the spirit of youth.
The project is built as a collective product, in which students and alumni take on all stages from composing, arranging, orchestrating, recording, image production to communication. This is a highlight showing the comprehensive participation of young people in the process of creating a complete music product.
The album includes 6 songs: "The most beautiful chapter", "Hoa Lac fire", "FPT We fly", "Orange lute", "Reaching out" and "Youth boat". Each song has its own color, reflecting different perspectives on youth, the learning environment and the identity of each institution.
The project is not only a music activity but also seen as a way for generations of students at FPT University to connect, share and express their perspectives on their journey of maturity.
Sharing about the meaning of the project, Mr. Do Huu Phat - a student of Course 12, majoring in Software Engineering at FPTU and taking on the role of Project Manager - said: "Instead of hiring singers, musicians or producers from outside to make a grand but one-sided commemorative product, we chose to give the entire stage to students and alumni themselves. The fact that 50 young people from 5 institutions personally handle 100% from composing, mixing, orchestration to recording, communication... is the most vivid proof of the spirit of "Real learning - Real doing - Real success" of FPT University.
Moreover, the 20-year milestone (2006 - 2026) is when the Gen Z generation of FPTU is truly maturing. The album is not only a school birthday wish, but also a declaration of FPT's young people: "We are not only good at technology, good at business, but also extremely proud of national culture and ready to use our talents to reach out to the country".
Reaching out to the country" brings the story of a young generation growing up with the new movements of the country - a generation ready to learn, connect, create and actively create value with their own abilities. In that journey, young people play an important role in spreading the spirit of innovation, continuing cultural identity and contributing to creating new motivations for the future.
The energetic melodies, familiar Vietnamese cultural materials and the companionship of students from 5 campuses have created an emotional picture of today's youth: Carrying ambition, pioneering spirit and belief in the journey being pursued.
Being a former student and also in charge of a project, Mr. Huu Phat said that switching from software engineering to managing a music project is an experience reflecting the flexibility formed during his studies at university. According to him, the training environment has helped students have the opportunity to access diverse activities, thereby developing open thinking and adaptability in many different fields.
When we are given trust and a large enough "stage", we can create works of art not only for entertainment, but also to inspire and touch the hearts of tens of thousands of people" - Mr. Phat said.
