WELCOME TO BLUECAMP ZOOM


This page was created under the collaboration between the Outlook English Club (OEC) and Mr. Richard Churchill, an American veteran and entrepreneur, to provide the Vietnamese young people and English learners with information related to global economic issues. We will focus on topics on unsustainable development, social inequality and the widening gaps between wealth and poverty, and new consumption models for a more liberated society.
