Ms. Hoang Thi Thu Hien - founder of the project "Good books for primary school students" leads from the story of good books, bad books to the issue of friends in puberty and the story of friends of the opposite sex integrating sexeducation for students.

With over 35 years of teaching experience, speaker Thu Hien shares real-life stories about gender with vivid, fun and student-friendly examples.

Le Quy Don Secondary School is the first school in Krong Pa district to build the "Leader of Change" Club - one of the propaganda models of Project 8.

Vietnam Women's Publishing House hopes that in addition to sharing about books, experiences about gender and gender equality integrated into the discussion will help students recognize outdated customs, practices, and gender stereotypes in the places where they live.

From there, students can change the way they think and work for ethnic minorities in mountainous areas.

"We hope that each student will be a "leader of change", to change themselves in studying, training and helping to build a civilized and prosperous homeland," said a representative of the Vietnam Women's Publishing House.
