Innovation in communication, raising awareness
The skit “Where is the future” organized by the propaganda team of population workers in Quy Hop district at the launching ceremony of the National Action Month on Population deals with a painful issue that has been occurring for many years in the area, especially in communes with a large population of ethnic minorities, which is child marriage.
The story begins with a couple who “fell in love early”, the daughter is still in school age, the message about pushing back the situation of early marriage, incestuous marriage is conveyed effectively and meaningfully. From there, it helps people raise awareness, understanding, gradually eliminating the situation of “wife-catching”, early marriage.

The contest is for middle and high school students with many propaganda contents about reproductive health of adolescents, youth, friendship and love at school age.
At Quy Chau High School, throughout the 120-minute competition, participating students and teachers experienced many emotions, participated in answering many questions, playing many games and cultural and artistic exchanges.
Teacher Nguyen Thi Binh - Vice Principal of Quy Chau High School said: With the characteristics of a highland school, more than 1,200 students living far from home, organizing playgrounds to learn about reproductive health for adolescents and young people is extremely meaningful. We hope that the gender issues mentioned in this contest will be very practical, equipping students with basic knowledge to protect themselves in and out of school.
