Thousands of students attended Connect Fest 2025 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the school's founding. The event was jointly organized by the Central Committee of the Vietnam Student Union, the Hanoi Youth Union, the Vietnam Commercial and Industrial Bank (Vietinbank), and other related units.

Representatives from the Organizing Committee and related units performed the opening ceremony of the Festival. This is a highlight event, held once a year by the Central Committee of the Vietnam Student Association.

At the event, the organizing committee inaugurated the competition to kick off the 2nd High School Youth Union Cadre Training Camp, 2025, aiming to find outstanding individuals to help build a strong Youth Union organization.

Connect Fest 2025 is divided into 5 areas, corresponding to the criteria of the "5 Good Students" movement, specifically: Good Morality, Good Academics, Good Volunteering, Good Physical Fitness, and Good Integration.

In this year's "Good Volunteer" section, young people have taken the initiative to collect used stuffed animals, clean them, refurbish them, and donate them to children in remote, disadvantaged areas across the country.

At the "Good Learning" area, many young people choose to request calligraphy to bring good luck and boost their motivation to study and improve themselves in the new school year.

This year, the "Good Fitness" area was designed to be spacious with many experiential activities such as shooting basketballs for points and winning prizes. This was also one of the areas that attracted the most students at the festival.

Notably, the sport of pickleball was also included in the Festival, creating excitement and enthusiasm for young people who are passionate about trying their hand at sports.

The meaningful wishes that young people sent to Connect Fest also served as messages and reminders for themselves in the new year 2025.

Folk dances from countries around the world were recreated with great enthusiasm at the festival.

Many young people, dressed in national costumes, were present at the "Good Integration" area, contributing to promoting friendship between Vietnam and international friends to students in the capital city.
