Please help me to review it and give any feedbacks for improment:

As a GOI-IES Scholar, how will you extend yourself beyond your project/studies to become actively involved in Irish society in order to maximize your academic/cultural exchange experience and raise awareness of the GOI-IES scheme in Ireland and beyond?

I look forward to immersing myself in Irish society, engaging with local customs and practices while sharing insights from my Vietnamese background.

My engagement with Enactus Ireland at DCU will offer a unique opportunity to delve into innovative approaches addressing social challenges in Ireland through student-led initiatives. Enactus' projects like Dyslex.ie and Threads demonstrate innovative use of technology to address social issues, from AI-powered dyslexia support to promoting sustainable fashion through circular economy principles. This aligns perfectly with my aspirations to understand and contribute to impactful social entrepreneurship. Through the extensive Enactus network, I will have the privilege of connecting with innovators and sustainability leaders, broadening my understanding of tech-driven sustainable practices in Ireland. Simultaneously, I will share insights on technology adoption from Vietnam's emerging social enterprise sector, such as cloud-based management systems, fostering a mutual exchange of ideas and best practices.

Beyond academic pursuits, I plan to embrace Ireland's pub culture as another avenue for cultural exchange, recognizing its potential for networking and fostering connections. In Vietnam, social drinking often catalyzes relationship-building, a custom that resonates with Ireland's pub culture. Leveraging my experience organizing social sharing events at student club, I'll launch "Scholars' Pub Nights," inviting international students, Irish peers, and community members to informal cultural exchange forums. These gatherings will provide a platform for sharing stories, discussing global perspectives, and gaining authentic insights into Irish social norms. In turn, I'll introduce Vietnamese traditions and customs through traditional dishes and popular drinking games from Vietnam, effectively bridging the cultural gap between the two countries.

More importantly, as a proud "GOI-IES Scholar," I will leverage these engagement opportunities to inspire others and amplify the scholarship's impact. Furthermore, I'm committed to expanding the global footprint of the program through following approachs.

First, I'll collaborate with the Irish Alumni Association in Vietnam to create "Scholar's Lens," a multilingual digital campaign promoting the GOI-IES scheme. This initiative will offer authentic insights into the lives of GOI-IES scholars at DCU, including myself, showcasing diverse experiences from academic achievements to cultural discoveries. Using my expertise in student event promotion, I'll maximize engagement through blog posts, videos, and interactive Q&A sessions, catering to various learning preferences. By providing relatable, first-hand accounts, we'll help applicants visualize the scholarship's transformative impact. Leveraging my extensive network of student leaders and organizations, I'll amplify the campaign's reach through content sharing and local information sessions. This multifaceted approach will inform and inspire potential applicants, expanding the scheme's reach throughout Vietnam and beyond, while fostering a dynamic community of future GOI-IES scholars.

Second, I plan to establish a robust mentorship network connecting GOI-IES alumni with current scholars and prospective applicants. This initiative will create a dynamic ecosystem for knowledge sharing, career guidance, and fostering long-term connections between Ireland and scholars' home countries. Drawing from my experience as a student club leader in Vietnam, I'll apply best practices in organizing and managing this mentorship program to ensure its effectiveness and sustainability. By implementing this network, I'll extend the scholarship's influence far beyond its immediate duration, creating a ripple effect of positive change through a "Pay It Forward" scheme. The goal is to cultivate a self-perpetuating cycle where mentored students become next mentors, exponentially increasing the program's impact and introducing the GOI-IES scholarship to potential students who may be unaware of this opportunity.

I look forward to immersing myself ...

This is a totally empty and unnecessary reference. I suggest that you delete this an open strong by making the current 2nd paragraph the first paragraph instead. It has more of an impact upon the reader.

Enactus' projects like Dyslex.ie

Do not reference academics in this statement. You are expected to discuss your social immersion plans to help you fit into the student community. You are being tested regarding your ability to merge your culture with the Irish culture. How do you plan to become a responsible and productive part of the community? It has nothing to do with academics. Consider your social skills and what you can offer in terms of helping to develop the international relationship between the 2 countries instead. Focus only on the social presentation.
