Vietnam Center for Creative Education (VCCE): Empowering the Future through Creativity, AI, and the Science of Learning

The Vietnam Center for Creative Education (VCCE) is a forward-thinking educational hub committed to shaping the future of learning in Vietnam. At its core, VCCE is built on the belief that creativity, innovation, and evidence-based practice must be the foundation of any meaningful educational transformation. In an age defined by rapid technological advancement and global uncertainty, the need for adaptive, critical, and creative learners has never been greater.

VCCE seeks to empower Vietnamese students, teachers, and educational institutions by offering cutting-edge educational services rooted in the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Science of Learning, and the essential skill of Learning How to Learn. These pillars form the backbone of VCCE’s strategy to support Vietnam’s vision of developing globally competent citizens ready for the digital age.


A Community of Passionate Educators

VCCE is more than an educational organization—it is a dynamic community of passionate, dedicated, and visionary educators. These are teachers, researchers, and educational leaders who believe in reimagining the learning experience. They are united by a shared mission: to spark meaningful change in Vietnam’s education system and to empower both students and teachers with the tools needed to succeed in a fast-changing world.

At VCCE, collaboration is key. By fostering strong partnerships with local schools, universities, education departments, and international organizations, VCCE creates a vibrant ecosystem that supports continuous innovation in teaching and learning.


Integrating AI into Education: Tools and Training for the Future

One of VCCE’s signature strengths lies in its application of Artificial Intelligence in education. Rather than viewing AI as a distant future technology, VCCE sees it as a practical, immediate tool to enhance learning, improve teaching, and build smarter educational systems.

Key AI Services Offered by VCCE:

  1. AI Literacy Programs for Educators and Students
    VCCE provides tailored training sessions that help teachers and students understand AI concepts, applications, and ethics. These programs are designed to build foundational knowledge while exploring real-world use cases in the classroom.
  2. AI-Powered Teaching Tools
    VCCE introduces teachers to AI-driven platforms that support lesson planning, assessment design, student feedback, and differentiated instruction. Tools like adaptive learning platforms, AI writing assistants, and data-driven dashboards help educators personalize learning and save time.
  3. Consulting and Integration Services for Schools
    For school leaders, VCCE offers consulting services to help design strategic roadmaps for AI adoption. This includes evaluating school readiness, selecting appropriate technologies, and supporting implementation aligned with Vietnam’s education goals.
  4. Workshops on AI Ethics and Digital Citizenship
    Recognizing the challenges that come with AI, VCCE also runs workshops on digital ethics, data privacy, and responsible AI use, ensuring students and educators are not just tech-savvy but also ethically aware.

Learning Science: Grounding Innovation in Research

To ensure that innovation in education is effective and sustainable, VCCE grounds all of its programs in the Science of Learning—an interdisciplinary field that blends insights from neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, and education research.

How VCCE Applies the Science of Learning:

  • Evidence-Based Pedagogy
    VCCE provides training and resources for teachers on cognitive strategies such as retrieval practice, spaced learning, dual coding, and metacognition—helping them align instruction with how the brain naturally learns.
  • Professional Development Aligned with Research
    VCCE’s workshops and coaching sessions focus on making research practical. Teachers are supported to apply research-backed strategies directly into their classrooms, improving learning outcomes without increasing workload.
  • Designing Smart Assessments
    With learning science in mind, VCCE helps schools create assessments that measure true understanding and long-term retention. These include performance-based tasks, formative feedback loops, and project-based learning aligned with curriculum standards.

Learning How to Learn: A Lifelong Competency

Perhaps the most crucial element of VCCE’s mission is its commitment to helping learners develop the metacognitive skill of “learning how to learn.” In today’s information-rich and constantly evolving world, the ability to continuously acquire, apply, and adapt knowledge is the foundation of lifelong success.

How VCCE Builds “Learning How to Learn” into Its Programs:

  • Student Workshops on Learning Strategies
    VCCE conducts workshops for students that focus on developing self-regulated learning habits, growth mindset, time management, goal setting, and reflection. These workshops are interactive and age-appropriate, empowering students to take ownership of their learning.
  • Teacher Training on Coaching Learning Skills
    Teachers are trained not just to teach content, but to coach learning behaviors—encouraging students to ask questions, build connections, and monitor their understanding.
  • AI-Supported Reflection Tools
    VCCE introduces simple AI tools that guide students to reflect on their learning progress, visualize their understanding, and set goals. These tools help students build self-awareness and resilience.
  • Integration into School Culture
    VCCE supports school leaders in embedding a “learning how to learn” mindset into their culture—through school-wide practices, parent engagement, and leadership development.

A Vision for the Future

The future of education in Vietnam is bright—and VCCE is committed to being at the heart of it. By uniting cutting-edge technologies with deep human values, VCCE offers a model for education that is both innovative and meaningful.

In the coming years, VCCE aims to:

  • Expand its AI training network to reach rural and underserved schools across Vietnam.
  • Develop an AI-Learning Science Innovation Lab, where teachers and researchers can experiment with new teaching methods and technologies.
  • Launch bilingual digital platforms that promote “learning how to learn” across all grade levels.
  • Strengthen partnerships with international institutions to bring global best practices into local contexts.

Therefore,

VCCE is not just an educational center—it is a movement toward creative, evidence-informed, and future-ready education in Vietnam. With a strong foundation in AI integration, learning science, and the promotion of lifelong learning skills, VCCE is redefining what it means to educate in the 21st century.

For schools, educators, and policymakers seeking to innovate while staying grounded in research and ethics, VCCE stands as a trusted partner and a bold leader in Vietnam’s education landscape.
