49 Prompting Knowledge Exchange To keep the VTC updated on best practices and latest trends in VPET and further our educational missions, we play an active role in educational conferences and forums across the Mainland and the region. These included the Worlddidac Asia and BIBB International Roadshow in Thailand, the Applied Learning Conference in Singapore, the International Symposium on Advance in Technology Education in Japan and the Asian Education Forum in Chengdu during the year.
