(HBO) – After four days of the "Exchange waste paper for plants" programme, the Books and Action (BnA) Club of the Hoang Van Thu High School for the Gifted, based in Hoa Binh city, collected more than 1.2 tonnes of waste paper and 538 plastic bottles. This was an encouragement for the club to carry out more interesting activities in the future and possibly come up with a new, creative, and meaningful career idea, according the club’s leader Nghiem Thi Nhu Quynh.
The "Exchange waste paper for plants” project of the BnA Club in the Hoang Van Thu High School for the Gifted (Hoa Binh city) has received high evaluation thanks to its practicality, helping improve students’ awareness of environmental protection.
"Exchange waste paper for plants” is an environmental project implemented by members of the BnA Club. Following the project’s success in previous years, the traditional activity returned in early October, attracting hundreds of people coming to exchange waste such as waste paper, beer cans, and plastic bottles for small "sen da” (Crassulaceae) plants. This was a practical activity helping the club collect a large volume of waste and, more importantly, improve students’ awareness of environmental protection.
Over the past years, the Hoang Van Thu High School for the Gifted has always paid attention to extra-curricular activities so as to create a dynamic educational environment for students to develop their creativity and career ideas.
Principal Bui Van Duong said the dynamic and flexible environment has helped the school improve educational quality, inspire students’ creativity, and create favourable conditions for them to bring into play their strengths and set out on their careers early in life. The school has also encouraged students to take part in competitions and experience activities to explore themselves, identify career orientations, and make appropriate decisions.
In Hoa Binh province, education and training authorities have also paid attention to the creation of a dynamic and flexible educational environment to inspire students’ creativity and career ideas. The Education and Training Department has organised an annual competition on startup ideas for students.
In 2020, the provincial People’s Committee issued a project on supporting students to start their careers. The project features such activities as boosting communications, providing training, encouraging the establishment of startup clubs in schools, and organising fact-finding trips for students. Provincial authorities will also organise workshops and contests, connect businesses and investors with students, and provide favourable mechanisms, policies, and funding for students’ programmes and projects to start careers.
By doing so, the entire policy system, organisations, and the entire society will join hands with the educational sector to boost the startup spirit among local students./.
The people in Hoa Binh province are aware of the need to build and preserve the cultural traditions and unique customs of their communities, especially those related to ethnic identities and family values which serve as foundation for a vibrant, tradition-rich Hoa Binh, enriching community life. In recent years, the province’s Party Committee, authorities, and residents have paid heed to building and developing family values and fostering human standards in the new era.
The festival of great national solidarity and culture in 2024 was held at the communal house of Da Bac district on November 5. Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Toan and leaders of departments and sectors attended the event.
The Labor Federation of Da Bac district has focused on protecting workers' rights while actively participating in patriotic emulation movements to enhance the creativity and productivity of the local workforces across agencies, organisations and enterprises.
In recent years, the Women's Union of Yen Thuy district has actively contributed to the implementation of the National Target Program on building new the rural areas. The Union's activities not only help raise awareness of environmental protection for the members, the women, and the people but they also contribute to improving the appearance of rural areas and improving the quality of life.
The model of intergenerational self-help club (ISC) has been expanded in Mai Chau district over recent times, contributing to sharing and motivating the disadvantaged people, especially the elderly, to improve their lives.
Following President Ho Chi Minh’s teachings that emulation is patriotism, patriotism requires emulation, the trade union at all levels in Hoa Binh has effectively implemented patriotism emulation movements, especially the "effective, creative working” movement. Responding to the movement, local workers, public servants, and officials have proposed many creative and applicable ideas, helping spread the movement to all agencies, units, and businesses.
