Continuing efforts to promote environmental awareness under the SODI – A Luoi Project, on 31 January and 01 February 2026, CKC, in collaboration with the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations of Hue City (VUFO Hue), organized a Photography Training as part of the “Photovoice Contest on Forest Protection” at primary schools in the three project communes.

The training serves as an important preparatory step for the contest, which runs from January to March 2026 across project schools. Through photography, students are encouraged to develop their creativity while reflecting on the value of forests and their responsibility toward local ecosystems.

A total of 75 students from three primary schools: Hong Van, Nham, and Hong Thai, participated in interactive learning activities, including:
• Becoming familiar with cameras
• Learning proper, safe, and professional photography skills
• Discussing meaningful stories conveyed through images; and
• Preparing for field trips, where each photograph becomes both a story and a message about forest protection.

This activity is part of the Environmental Awareness Component of the SODI – A Luoi project (2024 – 2029) titled “Socio-Ecological Transformation for Ethnic Minority Women through Creating Sustainable Livelihoods in A Luoi”. The project is funded by SODI (Solidaritätsdienst-international e.V.) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). VUFO Hue is the lead implementing agency, and CKC Center is a key partner in delivering awareness-raising and indigenous knowledge preservation activities.
