(HBO) – A creative playground model was inaugurated at Nguyen Tat Thanh School in Hoa Binh city on January 4. The inauguration ceremony saw the participation of representatives from the provincial Department of Education and Training, the Hanoi University of Science and Technology, and the ACES Vietnam project.
Delegates cut the ribbon to inaugurate the "Green Playground" project
at Nguyen Tat Thanh School in Hoa Binh
city.
The "Green Playground" is an educational playground model that
combines playfulness and streamlined education, which is different from normal
physical playgrounds. It consists of four sections: physical playground, recycling garden, herbal
garden, and Muong cultural space. Facilities in the physical playground are made from recycled materials.
Meanwhile, pupils can use plastic bottles to grow flowers in the recycling
garden.
The playground is part of the project "Community-centred educational model for
developing social resilience: playfulness towards an inclusive, safe and
resilient society”, which is implemented by the Hanoi University of Science and
Technology and funded by the Global Challenges Research
Fund (GCRF) with the participation of many universities
worldwide.
The playground was completed with the support of ACES Vietnam project, Yves
Perrin - a French teacher, and lecturers of the Hoa Binh
College of Education, and idea contribution of pupils. The model can be replicated in other schools in the locality, including those
in particularly disadvantaged areas./.
More than just an information technology teacher, Bui Van Nien is an inspiring figure who has nurtured the scientific curiosity and creative spirit of students in Vietnam’s ethnic minority communities.
Da Bac is the most disadvantaged mountainous district in Hoa Binh province, with ethnic minorities accounting for about 90% of its population. Over the past years, the district has mobilised resources to implement ethnic policies to improve the quality of life of local people.
In recent years, Hoa Binh province has consistently prioritised the protection, care, and education of children, particularly those from ethnic minorities and disadvantaged backgrounds, by creating a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment for their all-round development.

The event was chaired by Nguyen Van Toan, Standing Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee and head of the Steering Committee.
