Besides, experiencing nature themselves makes them remember longer what they have learned. to share and spread meaningful messages about nature and wildlife conservation with friends, family and the community.
Through lessons and assigned tasks, children not only experience and explore nature by themselves but also work in groups to discuss, interact, observe, analyze reality to solve problems, present opinions and draw useful lessons.

During this learning and experience trip, the bus also took the “young explorers” to Dong Dinh Museum and Tien Sa Lighthouse. Here, the “young explorers” had the opportunity to admire the majestic beauty of Son Tra from the ancient Tien Sa Lighthouse. The children also learned about ancient artifacts dating from 100 to 2,500 years old and explored the Sa Huynh culture, Dai Viet culture, Champa culture, Chinese culture, etc. at Dong Dinh Museum. With what is observed and felt, it helps children deepen their knowledge of the culture and history of the Vietnamese people.
