Being proud of Youth Union’s tradition

To celebrate the 91st founding anniversary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (March 26, 1931 - March 26, 2022), provincial Youth Union Standing Committee has deployed propaganda activities with the theme of "Being proud of the tradition of Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union" among Youth Union branches, thereby encouraging Youth Union cadres and members  to continue dedicating themselves to building the Youth Union,  strive to study, practice and work and volunteer for the sake of the community.

Desire to dedicate

The activities of reviewing traditions and meeting to celebrate the founding of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union are annually organized by Youth Unions at all levels to pay tribute to Youth Union cadres over periods. This shows the attention of the Party committee, affirming the role of the Youth Union and is the driving force for Youth Unions at all levels to continuously strive to rise up. To celebrate the 91st founding anniversary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, provincial Youth Union Standing Committee held a get-together for Youth Union cadres over periods at the historical site of Thuan An Hoa War Zone in Thuan An City under the theme of "Aspiration for dedication - Youth life" while honoring many typical individuals with contributions to the local youth work.

Youth Union branches organize the "Journey to the red address" during the Youth Month 2022

Thuan An Hoa war zone from 1946 was a suburban base area at the northern gateway of Saigon, with a strategic military position, directly serving units operating in the enemy's heart and a place gathering and moving our fighting forces. From the "posture of the people's hearts and minds", the army and people of Thuan An in particular and of Binh Duong in general contributed to the great victory in spring 1975. With the historical value, Thuan An Hoa War Zone is always the pride of Binh Duong’s Party Committee, army and people and it is also a place to educate about history, culture and revolutionary traditions for young generations today and in the future…Therefore, the atmosphere of the get-together here got more meaningful for the generations of Song Be and Binh Duong Youth Union officials and young generations today.

In the warm and quiet moment of the get-together, the attention and direction of provincial leaders, the guidance and valuable contributions of the generations of the Song Be-Binh Duong Youth Union officials will continue being a motivation for the local young people today to uphold the tradition of their elders, joining hands to build up a stronger and stronger Youth Union. The get-together was also an opportunity to present the Ly Tu Trong Award, the Young Doctor Award of the Youth Union Central Committee to individuals. Provincial Youth Union also presented provincial Young Talent Award, Award for the best Youth Union Cadres 2022 to individuals. All aimed at encouraging young individuals to further make positive contributions to the Youth Union …

Young people today are always proud of the glorious 91-year tradition of the Youth Union. The beliefs and expectations of the previous generations of leaders and Youth Union cadres are a strong motivation for Youth Union members to further strive, dedicate and grow up. With constant efforts, overcoming all difficulties for many consecutive years, the province’s Youth Union and Young Pioneer Organization have always received the excellent emulation flags of the Youth Union Central Committee. Especially, provincial Youth Union was honored to receive the First-class Labor Medal from the State President and the "Skillful Mass Mobilization” award by provincial Party Standing Committee last year.

Nguyen Thi Ngoc Xuan, Secretary of provincial Youth Union said: "In the new context, the Youth Union still faces difficulties, so more sustainable solutions are needed to seek. The Youth Union needs to raise the rate of solidarity and gathering among young people in non-State enterprises, improving revolutionary ideals, skills and foreign languages ​​for young people. All-level Youth Unions’ selection of key contents, in-depth and sustainable models should continue being replicated, aiming to give care in terms of housing, education, healthcare, essential services for young people from all parts of the country to Binh Duong to study, work and live for a long time…”.

Animation of educational activities

On social networking sites managed by Youth Unions at all levels, lots of propaganda information about the 91-year development of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union in association with action movements has been posted in March. They have been proactive to disseminate effective models in the Youth Union's work, children and teenagers’ movements. Along with that, there are activities and programs in celebration of the Youth Union’s founding, Youth Union congresses at all levels and propagation of outstanding individuals in the local youth movements.

During the Youth Month 2022, provincial Youth Union Standing Committee has also deployed the organization of the "Journey following tradition  for sustainable future" among Youth Union branches, thereby helping teenagers and children visit and learn about historical relics, traditional places of the Youth Union in association with visiting former Youth Union officials over periods. Accordingly, based on the real situation of localities and units, Youth Unions at all levels have organized field trips to historical sites in combination with holding get-togethers, talk shows, meeting historical witnesses, giving gifts for  former Youth Union cadres with difficult circumstances, realizing “paying debt of gratitude” activities.

Over the past time, the "Journey following tradition for sustainable future” was an effective model in educating young people by going to "red addresses", hearing historical stories about of their elders, thereby propagandizing and educating about the history and traditions of the nation, the Party and the Youth Union, fostering revolutionary ideals, upholding patriotism and national pride among them.

“The reality requires provincial Youth Unions at all levels to make more efforts in designing contents, choosing operational methods, further organizing practical patriotic emulation movements so that the Youth Union can truly be the guide, companion, reliable friend of the youth, be the inspirational brother and sister, leading Young Pioneer members and children to further advance towards to the Youth Union…”, (Nguyen Thi Ngoc Xuan, Secretary of provincial Youth Union)
