The book is a crystallization of emotion, creativity and social responsibility, carrying a profound message of empathy, justice and the aspiration to build a loving world where no one is left behind.
Spreading profound meaning from a contest
Director of the Center for Environmental Community Communication Le Viet Nhan shared: The logo design contest on the occasion of Agent Orange Victims Day (August 10) held on August 10, 2024 has attracted the attention and sharing of the social community about the pain of Agent Orange/dioxin victims, and at the same time called on the community to join hands to fight for justice for them. The contest is a small step but contains great meaning on the journey to heal the wounds of war and spread empathy in the community. This is not only a symbolic activity, but also a practical action to remind that: Although the war has ended, the pain of the victims still exists, and we - as a community, cannot turn our backs on those losses.
“Sharing and Awakening was born to spread the message of humanity, arouse social empathy and promote practical actions for victims of Agent Orange,” said Mr. Le Viet Nhan.
From an academic perspective, Associate Professor Dr. Ha Huy Phuong (Academy of Journalism and Communication) highly appreciated the educational value and profound communication value that the book brings. He said: “Sharing and awakening is not simply a collection of designs, but each work in it is the crystallization of emotions, creativity and responsibility. These are quiet but powerful messages, expressing deep sympathy for the pain of the victims, while conveying the desire for justice, healing and belief in a fair and loving world”.
“The book is not only a useful reference for students in the fields of design, architecture, fine arts, communications, etc., but also a “bridge” for the public to better understand, sympathize and act more for Agent Orange victims - people who deserve to live a life of justice, love and sharing” - Associate Professor, Dr. Ha Huy Phuong emphasized.
He also said: The book is a valuable open learning material for students majoring in journalism, communications, and applied arts, from launching campaigns, producing content, organizing event communications to evaluating actual effectiveness.
Sharing and Awakening is a moving reminder that when communities act and share together, we can create positive change, leaving no one behind.
An inspiring community media journey
From the perspective of social media and humane marketing, Dr. Tran Dinh Ly, Vice President of the Vietnam Marketing Association, commented: “The logos selected to be introduced in the book are all concise and meaningful symbols. When inspired by empathy and community awareness, these symbols will go beyond the visual framework to become inspirational messengers, contributing persistently to the work of social healing.”
According to Dr. Tran Dinh Ly, the contest is not only an artistic playground, but also a deeply humane space - where emotions, social responsibility and creativity converge.
Secretary General of the Vietnam Association for Conservation of Nature and Environment Pham Van Son shared: I hope that, not stopping at the contest, we will together remember the sacrifices of previous generations, be grateful, accompany, share and importantly, we affirm that we never forget the sacrifices of previous generations to unite the country, the country is full of joy in peace and independence today. Those are echoes from the past, reminding each of us in the present. It is also the motivation for us to act and share more with the aspirations, continuing the unfinished dreams of 5 million victims affected by toxic chemicals in Vietnam.
Overall, the book Sharing and Awakening is not simply a publication preserving unique designs, but also an inspiring journey of community communication, a resonant voice of compassion and a commitment to action by people who do not want to be forgotten. It is a connection between the past and the present, between art and social practice, between creative symbols and the desire for justice.
