In recent years, attracting young people to participate in summer activities has become increasingly difficult, especially in urban areas. Therefore, the Youth Union at all levels of Thanh Hoa City has focused on innovating the content and form of organizing summer activities. Thereby creating a vibrant atmosphere, attracting a large number of young people in the area to participate.
Summer activities in Dong Linh ward (Thanh Hoa city) took place enthusiastically, attracting a large number of young people to participate.
Dong Linh Ward is considered one of the leading units in organizing summer activities in Thanh Hoa City. Since the beginning of June, the ward has coordinated to organize activities to receive young people and children to participate in summer activities in the locality. Along with that, mobilize union members, youth, and volunteer students to participate in taking charge of and organizing summer activities for children. This summer, the ward has over 500 young people and children participating in summer activities regularly in 12 residential groups. Every day, from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., all cultural houses of residential groups attract a large number of young people and children to practice performing arts, Team rituals, and participate in life skills propaganda sessions...
Dong Linh Ward Youth Union Secretary Le Chi Diep said: “One of our advantages in gathering and attracting young people to participate in summer activities is that the Youth Union and Young Pioneers movement has developed strongly and has been maintained over the years. However, we are also aware of the difficulties in attracting young people to participate in summer activities, so the innovation of the content and form of organizing activities is always focused on by the ward Youth Union and its branches. This year, the flag-raising ceremony at the summer activities summary was innovated, performed in front of the symbol of the country's map, creating excitement and connection between young people of 12 residential groups. Accordingly, the map of Vietnam with the two archipelagos of Hoang Sa and Truong Sa was gathered by 500 young people representing the young generation of Dong Linh Ward. After the map was stabilized, the flag-raising ceremony was solemn, extremely proud and emotional. In addition, we also organize monthly themed activities, orienting children to collective activities. We identify that innovation and improvement of the quality of summer activities is the basis for attracting the participation of young people in the following summers."
In fact, compared to rural areas, urban areas are facing many difficulties in gathering and attracting young people to participate in summer activities. Many reasons have been pointed out such as urban areas have many useful and interesting playgrounds for young people; most students take advantage of summer vacation to study more; many families do not really care about orienting their children to participate in summer activities; the content and organization are not really rich...
Clearly identifying the shortcomings and limitations in organizing summer activities, this year Thanh Hoa City Youth Union focuses on promoting coordination with the summer activity steering committee in all wards and communes to effectively implement activities. Along with that, directing the grassroots youth union to innovate the content and form of activities, organizing summer activities associated with monthly themes and events.
Thanh Hoa City Youth Union Secretary Le Ngoc Anh said: “This summer, Thanh Hoa City has more than 10,000 young people participating in summer activities. One of the new highlights of this year's summer activities program is that 311/311 youth union branches in Thanh Hoa City have integrated life skills development activities. Summer activities do not stop at practicing arts or Team rituals, but this is also a useful playground with skill teaching sessions such as how to escape in case of fire; drowning prevention skills for children; prevention of violence and child abuse... In addition, the summer activity steering committees of wards and communes have been flexible and creative in organizing summer activities with diverse themes such as: "Safe and useful summer fun", "Practical actions - Prioritizing resources for children"... In addition, the Youth Union at all levels also take advantage of the power of social networks to propagate, guide, and monitor summer activities, creating a vibrant competitive atmosphere in all localities".
In summer activities, the Youth Union plays an important role in guiding and accompanying young people throughout the training and participation process. However, according to the assessment of the Provincial Youth Union, in some neighborhoods in Thanh Hoa City in particular, and urban areas in the province in general, the number of grassroots Youth Union cadres is too small, or too old to handle all the work. In addition, the facilities of many summer activity locations are limited; the content of activities is not rich and practical; the summer activity model has not been innovated... In order for summer activities to be truly exciting and become a useful playground for young people, it is necessary not only to have the active participation of Youth Union chapters at all levels, but more importantly, the proper attention of families, localities and related levels and sectors.
