(HBO) - With the goal of helping students relax comfortably after stressful school hours and building reading skills, from the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year, Kim Tien High School and Secondary School (Kim Boi) has successfully built the "Friendly library” model in the form of socialization. Last year, the outstanding activity was that the school successfully organized the Family Reading Festival and received the positive feedback from parents, which created a pervasive effect in the community.
The "Friendly library” of Kim Tien
Secondary & Secondary School (Kim Boi) always attracts students to read
books to improve knowledge.
Since implementing after-school activities, the teachers have instructed
the students to go to the "Friendly Library” everyday so that they can explore
different types of books, read books and stories. In addition, they have guided
them how to create a green - clean - beautiful environment, building a sense of
responsibility for the library. Up to now, there is a total of more than 8,500
books and stories of all kinds in the library. The fact that the library was
put into operation has brought confidence to the parents and the students and
the parents have participated in the reading activities with the children.
Most
of the students coming to the school library are very interested in the
bookcases and the library's decoration. With the friendly reading spaces, the
library has been helping students freely explore, freely find and read the good
books that they love. A lot of students
have improved their best ability in drawing, picture painting, storytelling and
so on. Their self-governance has also been improved.
The school's model of the "Friendly Library” has brought practical
results when it always attracts 100% of students coming there to read, exchange
and share interesting information during the breaktime and before each class.
The students seem to enter a world of books, stories with many genres such as
comic books, children's newspapers, children's stories...
On average, there are
about 100 turns of students coming to the library to study and read books
everyday. Besides, using the resources to support the change of students'
learning style and teacher's teaching methods has been creating favorable
conditions for students to access books and articles, practice the habit of
reading books to acquire and cultivate knowledge. Especially, it has helped to
strengthen skills and improve the students’ Vietnamese ability to study their
subjects well, develop the abilities and qualities and create joy when they go
to school.
Gongs hold a special place in the cultural and spiritual life of the Muong ethnic people in Hoa Binh province. More than musical instruments, they are an indispensable part of community rituals and collective memory, echoing through generations as a spiritual thread linking the past, present, and future.
Preserving and promoting the cultural values of the Muong ethnic group has become an urgent task in the current context, as many traditional values face the risk of fading away. This effort requires not only protecting the cultural identity but also eliminating outdated customs and developing a modern cultural lifestyle, contributing to sustainable values for the Muong community in Hoa Binh province.
The Muong ethnic culture, deeply rooted in Vietnam’s mountainous north, continues to be preserved and revitalised by dedicated individuals and communities determined to safeguard their ancestral identity.
The Muong group is one of the largest ethnic minorities in Vietnam, primarily found in Hoa Binh province. The Muong people in Hoa Binh boast a rich and diverse cultural treasure that reflects the unique identity of this ethnic group. Accounting for over 63% of the province's population, they have created and preserved numerous distinctive cultural values, contributing to their unique identity. Their cultural heritage is an invaluable asset, at the heart of their national identity, and represents a vibrant spiritual life that must be preserved and promoted in today’s modern world.
For generations, the ethnic communities of Hoa Binh province, particularly the Muong people, have preserved vibrant festivals deeply intertwined with the region’s geography, nature, and social traditions. These celebrations enrich Hoa Binh’s spiritual life and cultural identity, reflecting both folk beliefs and the intermingling of ethnic customs. Many of these festivals have endured the test of time, passed down through generations and continuing to thrive today. Among them, the Khai Ha (Going Down to the Field) festival stands out as one of the most significant events of the Muong ethnic group.
Muong calendar, known as sach doi, is an ancient folk knowledge system developed through observations of the movement of the pleiades star. This unique calendar consists of 12 bamboo sticks, each representing a lunar month. Specific days within each month are marked with distinct symbols, guiding locals in determining auspicious and inauspicious days for important activities.
