Bui Hoai Nam, Secretary of Khanh Hoa Youth Union says the 2020 Youth Month is themed “Khanh Hoa Youth’s volunteering and creativity for the national prosperity and civilization" in  an effort to educate patriotism and national pride of glorious traditions of the Communist Party and Youth Union to younger generations; develop emulation campaigns with practical activities to mark the Communist Party Congress at all levels towards the 13th National Communist Party Congress and 89th foundation anniversary of Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union (March 26, 1931-2020).
 
Together with propaganda and education activities, Youth Union affiliations will implement various youth work based on actual demands, including lighting rural roads, planting roadside flowers; constructing and repairing playgrounds; developing models to protect the environment; reducing plastic use and waste; protecting water sources; and organizing Green Sunday community activities on March 1.
 
In addition, urban civilized models namely “lighted, green, clean, beautiful, civilized and safe”, turning littered places into stunning road corners with flowers and paintings. Youth Union affiliations will also organize dialogues between the Party Committee, leaders, the Government and the Youth Union at all levels for Youth Union members and young people to express their thoughts and aspirations.
