The team consists of Senchonghack Chaisavanh and Khamsavath Bounmy from Laos and Lim Mey Mey from Cambodia.
In the final round, OPEN TEAM presented a story on the theme ‘Markets along the Mekong’, conveying a message of cultural exchange and friendship among Viet Nam, Laos, and Cambodia.
Through their presentation, the three students guided the audience through market scenes that are both distinctive and share notable similarities: Lao markets portrayed as gentle and familiar, Cambodian markets as vivid, rich, and full of vitality, and Vietnamese markets as bustling, linked to images of hardworking, flexible, and warm-hearted people.
