Vietnam has 54 ethnic groups, each with its own unique, rich and diverse cultural identities, vividly expressed in the system of tangible and intangible cultural heritage.

In modern times, the preservation and promotion of cultural values, especially those of ethnic minorities, still have many shortcomings. The penetration of foreign cultures and pragmatic lifestyles have led the youth to approach new trends, away from traditional customs and practices... From there, the group of authors created the product "Creating and preserving the cultural colors of 54 Vietnamese ethnic groups using wood, scraps of fabric and paintings".

The group of authors created 54 wooden human statues, wearing costumes made from scraps of fabric. Each person represents an ethnic group, painted and decorated to match the characteristics of the represented ethnic group. Each person will have a QR code, an electrical system, switches, etc.
There are 2 ways to use this product: press the button at the bottom of each wooden statue or scan the QR code. Then, viewers will hear or read information about the unique cultural features of each ethnic group, identify the ethnic group through their costumes...

Product Can be used as teaching equipment in experiential activities, extracurricular activities...

The product utilizes raw materials from waste materials to help save costs and protect the environment.

This year's National Youth, Adolescent and Children's Creativity Contest had 907 topics, models and products participating from 58 provinces and cities. As a result, 106 models and products were awarded prizes.
