Comrade Ho Phuc Hai, Member of the Central Committee of the Youth Union and Standing Deputy Secretary of the Nghe An Provincial Youth Union, said that the campaign "Every young person should know at least one folk song of the Vi and Giam styles" has been widely implemented by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Youth Union to all levels of the Youth Union, Youth Association, and Children's Union in the province. From this campaign, many creative models have emerged, such as establishing clubs, organizing teaching classes, incorporating folk songs into Youth Union and Children's Union activities, summer activities, and exchanges with artisans... contributing to bringing this heritage closer to the younger generation.
