In the past 3 school years, the Provincial Ethnic Minority High School has established clubs for Mong flute, music, taekwondo, broadcasting, media... to create a playground for students to practice, develop and express themselves. Vu A Hoang, captain of the Mong flute club, said: The club has 66 members. Every day, after the afternoon class, we focus on practicing flute lessons.

The remaining clubs are assigned teachers by the school to be in charge, guide, ensure effective activities, and attract students to participate. Organizing clubs according to students' interests is one of the forms of creative experiential activities, training teamwork skills for students to explore themselves and develop their talents. Thereby, the school selects outstanding students from each grade to participate in competitions and competitions organized by the industry.

At Tay Bac University, a student volunteer club has been established, giving students the opportunity to practice and develop themselves. In particular, last August, student Lo Van Truong and club members participated twice in supporting people in Chieng So and Song Ma communes to overcome the consequences of floods. Truong said: Before, I was quite shy and lacked confidence in front of crowds. Thanks to participating in the student volunteer club, I have been able to practice my "soft" skills, enrich my life experience, and become more confident. Besides, when participating in volunteering, I can contribute my youth and share with the community, I feel happy because I contribute a small part of myself to help society.
