Three teams of the school participated in a painting and presentation contest on the topic "Building beautiful friendships - saying no to school violence"; and a skit contest on this theme. At the same time, educational psychology experts from the Institute for Education Technology and Human Resources Development provided information on school violence, and its consequences, as well as legal knowledge and skills to handle situations to prevent school violence or participate in solving and combating it.

Accordingly, on average, nearly 1,600 cases of students fighting inside and outside of school occur nationwide in an academic year. Among every 11,000 students, one is forced to drop out of school because of fighting; while one out of every nine schools has students fighting. Many cases of school violence have caused serious consequences, causing public outrage.

These activities have helped youth union members, young people, and students improve life skills; raise awareness of building beautiful friendships, and saying no to school violence; join hands to push violence out of school, so that school is truly a safe and healthy environment for each student.
