The application of information technology has helped facilitate law propaganda and education in Dien Khanh District, especially during the most severe Covid-19 outbreak.
Law education and propaganda via video clips
Nguyen Minh Quang, a judicial and civil status official in Dien Lam Commune has been accustomed to beginning his week with writing law posts for the commune's website and radio broadcast. He has learned video editing from the Internet. His video won the first prize in the 2021 law propaganda video clip competition organized by Dien Khanh District People's Committee.
Mass gathering was banned during the most severe Covid-19 outbreak, creating challenges for law propaganda. The situation prompted him to make efforts to create video clips featuring propaganda against the Covid-19 pandemic. He started to search for information, write transcripts and record videos. With only a mobile phone in hand and without experience about creating video clips, he did on the video over and over again for many times. The fruit of the labor is that the video clip has been chosen to be posted on Legal Youtube and Facebook and the commune's website, and broadcasted on the commune radio, earning more than 3,600 views on Facebook and Youtube channels.
