Accordingly, the students will be introduced to the M'nong people's handicraft pottery, instructed in traditional decorative techniques, and practice decorating patterns on ceramic products.

The class aims to preserve and promote the cultural values of the M'nong people, especially the traditional patterns and pottery making of the M'nong people. Thereby, raising awareness in the community, helping the younger generation understand and appreciate the pottery craft of the nation.

At the same time, it helps artisans and students have the opportunity to learn and develop decorative skills on ceramics, contributing to increasing the economic value of the products, and building the ceramic profession into a cultural tourist destination.

Teachers discuss with artisans about patterns and motifs on handmade ceramic products.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Dak Lak province Lai Duc Dai shared: Organizing a class to teach traditional decorative techniques on ceramics is not only to pass on the profession, but also a practical action to preserve the "soul" of culture, while at the same time arousing pride and love for heritage in the younger generation.
