Phan Thị Quỳnh Trang (Trang Phan) is the Founder and President of the Canada Vietnam Cultural & Educational Council (CVCEC), a federally incorporated non-profit organization based in Toronto, Ontario. Her work centres on education diplomacy: building trusted, long-term partnerships between schools, school boards, universities, families and public institutions in Canada and Vietnam.
With more than ten years in international education, she has worked across English language teaching, TESOL teacher training, EdTech, educational publishing and international student pathways. She holds a Master of Arts in TESOL from Horizons University (France) and is currently completing a Graduate Certificate in Government Relations at Seneca Polytechnic in Toronto.
At CVCEC, she leads the Viet Youth Readiness Hub, a youth leadership and civic engagement initiative launched in Toronto in April 2026 and part of CVCEC's project selected for the University of Toronto School of Cities' Leading Urban Change program, and "Trường Tiếng Việt Của Em" (My Vietnamese School), a free online platform for Vietnamese language and culture learning for Vietnamese-Canadian children and families, built by a teaching team in Ontario, Manitoba and Prince Edward Island. CVCEC also acts as an institutional connector between Canadian public education and education stakeholders in Vietnam, helping students and families make informed, safe decisions.
Her work has been featured by the Vietnam News Agency (VNA), VietnamPlus, Sài Gòn Giải Phóng and VTV, and she is a Senior Level Executive Contributor at Brainz Magazine, writing on education diplomacy and cross-border cooperation. She believes lasting cooperation is built on quiet trust, people-to-people connection and long-term commitment.
