“Reaching out-Shine”: Fueling dreams for ethnic minority students in Cao Bang

The event was jointly organized by the Vietnam Women's Museum, UNESCO Vietnam, the Departmentof Education and Training of Cao Bang province and CJ Group (Korea).

This is an activity under Project 8 on promoting gender equality and solving urgent issues for women and children, chaired and implemented by the Vietnam Women's Union.

Speaking at the opening of the program, Ms. Nguyen Thi Tuyet, Director of the Vietnam Women's Museum, shared that this "Reaching Out - Shining" program is a meaningful continuation of the communication journey that we have persistently carried out.

This is a space to share stories, send dreams and stories of overcoming difficulties to be heard and spread, contributing to creating positive changes in community awareness, especially in the highlands, about gender equality and children's rights.

The UNESCO representative in Vietnam also highly appreciated the event, saying that this was an opportunity to affirm a strong commitment to gender equality, while recognizing the joint efforts in awakening the potential of each ethnic minority student - who will contribute to building a sustainable and inclusive society in Vietnam.

Ethnic students participate in the event.

The program includes activities and exchanges with two female guests who are ethnic minorities who have strived to achieve their dreams; an exhibition of paintings "My Dream", "Reaching Out - Shining", "Removing Barriers - Reaching Out - Shining" drawn by students.

During the discussion and Q&A session, two guests, director Ha Le Diem, a Tay ethnic, with the documentary “The Children in the Mist” nominated for an Oscar; Phung Mui Nhinh, a Dao Jujitsu athlete, who won the 2024 Asian Gold Medal, shared their stories and journey of overcoming difficulties, rising up, and achieving success.

Their stories convey a strong message and inspiration to students about dedication, overcoming difficulties and persistently pursuing dreams.
