    Our Vision of No Boundaries

    Our vision at Unbounded Space is a future where those special people with disabilities can reach their maximum potential. A future of full integration with society, people and places. A future where they are valued for their contribution. A future without boundaries!

    Our Purpose

    Unbounded Space advances and empowers people with disabilities by providing comprehensive services and activities, which support personal development and skills for future employment and achieving aspirations, as well as a positive, home-like, learning, and sharing space where there is no boundary among disabled and non-disabled people.

    Achieving​

    Unbounded Space uses a social-enterprise model to provide a safe and casual space where facilitators and learners can socialise and interact. We also provide structured on-line courses and chat rooms where we continue to develop skills, conversations and learning. It will also be a location where people with disabilities can meet to support themselves, and access additional services, such as vocational counselling for work outside the scope of the social enterprise, psycho-social support, and social workers.

  • UP COMING EVENT

    It's been 02 years since that summer when the idea of an unbounded space came to us Founders.

    No boundaries - No limitation, we believe.

Để đưa ra lời khẳng định trên, tôi không chỉ dựa trên các tài liệu về giáo dục hòa nhập mà còn đúc kết từ chính những trải nghiệm thực tế vì chính tôi là người đã trưởng thành từ mô hình giáo dục này....

    Mercedes Carenzo‎ @Close Your Eyes Event

    Fantastic event! Please keep doing it, we really enjoyed the experience. Was a great Saturday evening!

    Ryan Llewelyn-Williams @ Close Your Eyes Event

    Thank you so much Unbounded Space for the most incredible experience! My mind was blown wide open to a completely different way of living in Hanoi. I loved every moment and was longing for more when the lights came back on.

    You created such a beautiful space to learn and explore from a completely new perspective. I will be at every event you put on in the future!

    There are so many places you could go with this concept. I am eagerly awaiting the next surprise.

    Vũ Hồng Trang @Close Your Eyes Event

    A thousand thanks to Unbounded Space for showing me that we can still tell someone is smiling even without seeing them.

    Hồng Jerry @My Idea Workshop

    Great people :) many thanks Unbounded Space !

    Huyen Nguyen​ @My Idea Workshop

    Tôi không thích viết lách lắm, ban đầu tôi cũng không định viết phản hồi này, nhưng chẳng hiểu sao tự nhiên tôi muốn viết, và đây cũng là lần đầu tiên tôi viết phản hồi cho một chương trình. Có lẽ vì phần nào đó trong tôi đã hòa nhập với các bạn sau buổi hội thảo ngày hôm qua nên tôi vẫn muốn nói với các bạn thêm nữa.

    Cảm ơn Unbounded Space vì đã tổ chức MY IDEA để tôi có cơ hội được biết thêm những người bạn mới!

    Xin gửi đến các bạn lời chúc sức khỏe và thành công!

    My Linh Khuc @My Idea Workshop

    Em rất mong anh chị hãy tổ chức thật nhiều, thật nhiều hững cuộc hội thảo như thế này.Unbounded Space đã giúp cho em và mọi người có thể hòa nhập với nhau, cùng nhau chia sẻ, cùng nhau trò chuyện tâm sự, đúng như cái tên của nó ‘Unbounded Space'

    Thanh Tam Nguyen @My Idea Workshop

    Và điều quan trọng là, không cần phải là một chương trình hoàng tráng mà chính những điều đặc biệt, giản dị, ấm áp khiến em và tất cả mọi người có thể cảm thấy hạnh phúc và vui vẻ, thực sự. Khi chương trình này được đề ra tức là những hiểu biết về giáo dục hòa nhập còn chưa phổ biến và những người khuyết tật chưa được hiểu đúng. Nhưng em tin rằng "thế giới thay đổi khi chúng ta thay đổi" và những người tham gia hội thảo này sẽ tạo được sức ảnh hưởng đến những người xung quanh. Cảm ơn My Idea, cảm ơn The Unbounded Space, cảm ơn tất cả mọi người đã cùng nhau tạo ra một chương trình vô cùng ý nghĩa này.
