youth cooperatives, and youth farms. Those models have become a reliable
channel for local youths to share experience and knowledge, support each other
in capital and materials, as well as an effective one to seek and access support
policies of the State.

the provincial contest of innovative and startup ideas, two thirds of whom are
ethnic minority young people. Meanwhile, the club of youths good at doing
