Dong Nai Youth Union celebrates the launch of the Youth Month 2010

Youths are raising the banner “Act to protect the environment”

    Under the slogan "Youths act to protect the environment”, Youth Month is mainly involved in performing publicity activities to raise public awareness of environmental protection and climate change, strengthening and establishing volunteer youth squads for a green, clean and beautiful environment; giving youth union members advice on job orientation and vocational training; organizing activities to support people living in poor communes, presenting the families who are social policy beneficiaries with gifts; spreading propaganda about traffic safety and against crime and social evils; carrying out Youth’s projects and responsibilities. Also, Youth Month calls for units to participate in youth projects. As a result, 3 projects at provincial level, 24 projects at district level and 1000 youth’s projects and responsibilities at grassroots level based on the motto, "One grassroots youth branch, one activity – a youth – a practical action to protect environment” were successfully implemented.

    Youth Month is divided into four phases. The first phase from March 1 to 7 called “Act to protect environment” is involved in holding talks on environmental protection and establishing volunteer youth squads – “Green force”; implementing projects on clean water and toilets, registering for the implementation of youth projects and having computers connected with the Internet. The second phase from March 8 to 14 called “Youth and Career” revolves around organizing activities concerning advice-giving, job orientation, vocational training assistance and job placement for youth. The third phase from March 15 to 21 called “Youth act for social security” is aimed at gratitude, humanitarian blood donation and traffic safety activities and at accelerating administrative reform. The fourth phase from March 22 to 31 called “Welcome the birthday of the Youth Union” focuses on organizing activities to welcome the 79th anniversary of the Founding of the Youth Union and get-togethers and boosting the implementation of 2010 activities.
