After the opening ceremony, having introduced the members and approved the Working Procedure; Ms Phan Hong Anh, on behalf of the Presidium, read the summary report on the Congress’s current condition and the faults of the Union. During the Congress, members had reported the activities in the 2019-2020 tenure through a video. In the past year, the Communist Youth Union had organised many educational activities to raise awareness about morals, lifestyles, social and cultural activities, arts and sports. The orientational and politically educational activities for Union members in school have been carried out with a variety of diverse methods, helping to bring the Party’s initiatives, the government’s policies and laws closer to the members, improving the members’ knowledge of the revolutionary ideology, patriotism, country pride, appropriate perceptions and lifestyles, compatible with social standards and contemporary demands.

In addition, provided with care and guidance from the school board, the school’s Union had organised annual events such as: Ngay Hoi Anh Tai, Orientation Day, Ams’ Got Talent, English Performance, Francomedies,... with success, managed and maintained the efficiency of almost 40 clubs in the school. Also, last year saw the members actively participating in province-level, national-level and international-level competitions, bringing home lots of encouraging prizes.

Based on the report in the Congress, in order to focus the Congress’s minds and feelings, evaluate real-life problems, discuss about goals and requirements of the Communist Youth Union’s activities in the new tenure; so that the Union could be a thoughtful friend who fulfills the members’ longings in present time, the Congress had continued to discuss and suggest ideas for the Presidium’s report.
