On the morning of December 3, 2023, the Cần Giờ District Department of Education and Training, in collaboration with the GreenHub Center for Green Development Support, organized the final round of the 3rd Greentalk Environmental Public Speaking Competition. The competition featured participation from over 22 schools across the district.

Ms. Võ Thị Diễm Phượng, representative of the Cần Giờ Department of Education and Training, stated: "The Green Talk competition provides an opportunity for schools to share their ideas and knowledge on environmental preservation, waste sorting, and plastic waste recycling while fostering creativity. It also serves as a platform for teachers and students to deeply understand the significance of environmental protection. Green Talk is not just a personal journey for teachers or students but a community effort, where every small action contributes to a greater movement. Let’s spread the spirit of Green Talk, so that from small ideas, we can spark a new world—one that is green, sustainable, and full of inspiration.”

The competition concluded with the following final results:

• Primary School Division:

  • First Prize: Cần Thạnh Primary School
  • Second Prize: Lý Nhơn Primary School
  • Third Prize: Bình Phước, Thạnh An, and Đồng Hòa Primary Schools
  • Encouragement Prize: An Thới Đông, Cần Thạnh 2, Doi Lầu, Hòa Hiệp, Long Thạnh, and Vàm Sát Primary Schools

• Secondary School Division:

The competition successfully created a positive impact within the community, inspiring solutions to environmental pollution. Additionally, it was a collaborative effort between teachers and students to promote environmental education, fostering proactive attitudes toward waste sorting and plastic waste recycling in schools. At the same time, it helped students enhance their public speaking and debate skills through a district-wide competition.
