Learning Beyond the Classroom
Syazwan Sabirin's UN Leadership Experience
Murdoch University Singapore student Syazwan Sabirin was selected as a delegate for the 14th University Scholars Leadership Symposium (USLS) 2026, held at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok.
The prestigious symposium brought together emerging leaders from across the globe to learn from international changemakers, collaborate on solutions to global challenges and explore ways to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Passionate about artificial intelligence, digital transformation and innovation, Syazwan is particularly interested in how technology can improve access to education, drive sustainable innovation and create meaningful community impact.
Syazwan said "Technology is most impactful when it is developed responsibly and applied in ways that empower communities and improve lives”.
The symposium offered opportunities to engage with delegates from diverse backgrounds, participate in leadership activities, and gain new perspectives on addressing complex global issues.
Syazwan credits the support of Murdoch University Singapore and the encouragement of Dr Nuttawuth Muenjohn for helping him reach this milestone.
His selection is a reminder that meaningful learning often extends beyond the classroom, creating opportunities for students to develop leadership skills, broaden their global outlook and contribute to positive change.
