On December 6, 2025, with the support of the Hue City Department of Education and Training and local primary schools, CKC, in collaboration with the Hue City Union of Friendship Organizations (VUFO Hue as the Head of Project Management Board), officially launched the “Green Forest” Drawing Contest in A Luoi 1, A Luoi 2, and A Luoi 3 communes.

The contest drew enthusiastic participation from over 300 students from Hong Van, Nham, and Hong Thai Primary Schools, encouraging them to transform green ideas into creative artworks that carry powerful messages about forest protection.

This initiative creates an open and inspiring learning space for young learners to explore the importance of environmental stewardship and amplify forest conservation messages within their communities through the voices of children. An exhibition and award ceremony featuring outstanding artworks will take place at the end of December.

The contest is part of the “Socio-Ecological Transformation for Ethnic Minority Women through Creating Sustainable Livelihoods in A Luoi” project (SODI – A Luoi Project). Running from 2025 to 2029, the project is funded by Solidaritätsdienst-international e.V. (SODI) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), managed and implemented by VUFO Hue. Its core components include capacity building and awareness raising, developing sustainable livelihood models, and preserving indigenous knowledge. CKC proudly serves as the official implementing partner.
