Soon after a brief meet-up with the Canon representatives, the entrance was swiftly buzzed with the crowd of parents and students. In a blink of an eye, a long line can already been seen at the ticketing counter, where each parent and student were awaiting for their turns to redeem their passes.  

At 8.00am sharp, students were ushered and seated at the theatre hall inside Kidzania. Whilst waiting for others to arrive, students were grinning ear to ear, chatting away with their friends whom they just met. Some parents also stayed back to support their child in this learning session.

15 minutes later, the session began with a warm welcome by Canon representative Patrick.  During this course, a pair of students were teamed up and given the opportunity to work with a Canon camera. As Patrick further explained the details and the flow for the workshop, broad smiles can be seen plastered on each of the students’ faces.  They were certainly looking forward to unleash their creativity in capturing photos using the cameras.

In no time, students headed out jubilantly from the hall to look for inspiration for their photos. Under the guidance of their respective trainers; some turned serious, fully immersed to ensure the right frame was taken whilst some were having a whale of a time, exploring around and capturing the moment as it was.

At 11.00am, students returned to the hall for their photos to be printed. The selected photos printed will then be sent over to their Vietnamese friends. With a given card piece to each student by Canon, the formal pasted the photo and added a wishful note to their friend. In return, they received a photo from them too. This workshop had also allowed an experience for the students to create a profound sense in the modern way of pen-pal.
