The Action Learning Camps (ALCs) aimed to foster a sense of belonging, focusing on teamwork and leadership skills. Each day offered new opportunities for students to explore essential skills for their final years at NISC and beyond. Whether visiting the Phare Circus, where performers use theater, music, dance, and modern circus arts to tell uniquely Cambodian stories; building rafts and tackling obstacle courses; or participating in group challenges on the beaches of Sihanoukville, the goal was to encourage students to engage with peers they might not usually interact with, helping them discover their strengths and weaknesses. The aim was to make learning feel natural and enjoyable. Many students also saw this as a final chance to bond with friends before heading to universities worldwide.
