Youth towards the roots

Meaningful journey

On a weekend in mid-August, we had the opportunity to follow more than 50 union officials, union members and young people to the Hon Gam beach area (Dam Mon village, Dai Lanh commune) to participate in the flag-raising ceremony "I love my Fatherland". Many union members and young people were very excited to participate in the flag-raising ceremony at a place of special significance. This is an activity within the journey I love my Fatherland implemented by the Provincial Youth Union - Vietnam Youth Union with meaningful activities such as: Flag-raising ceremony at Hon Gam; "Gratitude Day" - visiting and giving gifts to heroic Vietnamese mothers, heroes of the people's armed forces, wounded soldiers, and people with meritorious services to the revolution; organizing activities to return to the source, to the red address... to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2, to welcome the 1st Congress of Khanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee, term 2025 - 2030. After the flag-raising ceremony, the union members and young people participated in the program "Eternal memories" at Dam Mon communal house. Here, the young people reviewed the heroic historical tradition of the previous generations through the story of Mr. Le Van Minh - a person who contributed to the revolution in Dai Lanh commune.

Specifically, the Youth Union at all levels will establish volunteer youth teams, coordinate with veteran associations at all levels, military units, specialized units... to meet historical witnesses, talk, listen and record historical stories of wartime of previous generations. Next, standardize the process of collecting and processing documents; foster interviewing, recording, filming, taking photos, editing content skills, ensuring the accuracy - completeness - safety of historical documents. After completion, the Provincial Youth Union will build and operate a sustainable "Memory Station" system. Each school, library, and public cultural house will have a "Memory Station" project with the form of displaying artifacts, documentary photos combined with QR codes leading to recorded and digitized stories. In addition, the Youth Union at all levels regularly update content, organize extracurricular activities, and discussions at the "Memory Station" to maintain the vitality of the project; Connecting the "Memory Station" data with the online archives of the whole province and the Central Government, ensuring that information is stored permanently and can be easily searched.

"To effectively implement the project, the Provincial Youth Union calls on each member and youth to become a "storyteller" with a patriotic heart, with respect for history and with the responsibility of today's generation for the priceless sacrifices of previous generations. From there, a valuable archive of documents about the proud struggle journey of previous generations will be created, contributing to better education and propaganda for the younger generation" - Mr. Phuc said.
