Students of Chau Van Liem Secondary School, O Mon District actively expressed their opinions at the media meeting.

Forming self-defense skills

The communication session on "Preventing and combating child abuse on the Internet" was held at Chau Van Liem Secondary School, O Mon District. The participants used information technology, collected images and documents, and created communication content on the issue of child abuse on the Internet. Through this, students learned about the concept and forms of child abuse; the potential risks and consequences of using the Internet indiscriminately and for the wrong purposes. At the same time, students were equipped with measures to prevent abuse on social networks. Vo Tuan Anh, a 6th grade student, said: "My parents instructed me to use my phone mainly for studying, exchanging information with classmates, participating in social networks to update new knowledge, or supplementing subjects. The session helped us accumulate a lot of information, reminding each other to be vigilant with strange phone numbers and messages."

With the theme "Safe use of social networks", the communication session on "Preventing and combating fraud on cyberspace and related legal regulations in schools" at Tan Thoi Secondary School, Phong Dien District became more lively when students were provided with information about the consequences of abusing social networks, not filtering information; identifying sophisticated forms of fraud and measures to prevent and combat fraud on cyberspace. Ly Gia Han, a 9th grade student, said: "Teachers often remind us to use social networks properly, selectively and absolutely keep personal information confidential. I hope to participate in many communication activities with useful knowledge to apply in studying and life". Mr. Le Van Thuan, Vice Principal of the school, said: "In the situation of increasing complicated forms and tricks of online fraud, the school really needs the coordination of functional agencies to step up propaganda and warnings so that students can identify and limit risks; at the same time, develop in a safe and healthy environment".

Improve communication effectiveness

In May 2025, the City Social Work Center coordinated with 20 schools in districts with the Youth Club model to organize specialized communication on preventing and combating child abuse and fraud in cyberspace. At this time, children are starting their summer vacation, so they have more time to access the online environment, are easily lured, enticed, and are at increased risk of abuse and fraud due to lack of supervision from schools and parents. Communication activities help connect the responsibilities of schools - parents - society to protect andeducate children in the digital age. The Social Work Center is the focal point for providing knowledge, skills, and connecting to support social security for children and their families.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Bich Van, Deputy Director of the City Social Work Center, said that the Center maximizes the role of the Youth Club management board at schools, always close to, clearly understanding the psychology and needs of students, so communication is more practical, effective and widespread.

Communication sessions with diverse and creative forms, rich content, increasing interaction, attracting the interest and excitement of students. In addition, the Center focuses on promoting a number of topics related to TE such as: preventing and combating school violence and gender violence; preventing and avoiding accidents and injuries; life skills and prevention of deviant behaviors, legal advice... The application of information technology in organizing communication activities by schools, such as using real-life situation videos , illustrative cartoon clips... is in line with current trends. Thereby contributing to improving the effectiveness of propaganda, increasing visuality and interaction for students.

“In the coming time, the City Social Work Center will strengthen digital transformation in propaganda and education, such as: building a “Digital Life Skills Library”, organizing skills classes combining direct and online skills, creating short videos, infographics posted on social networks managed by the Center.
