According to Binh Dinh Department of Education and Training, this integration is a suitable way to ensure the sustainability of the KVMAP project. This activity not only contributes to raising awareness of students, but also allow students and teachers to become communicators, a bridge with the community to propagate about risks as well as how to prevent mine / UXO accidents. Through these activities, students are actively creative in raising awareness activities.
