In these activities, the members of 3 teams of each “Geopark ambassador club” including Culture Heritage team, Geoheritage team and Communication team showed their teamwork skills, their talents and knowledge about the geopark. The clubs’ members cooperated in planning activities and implementing assigned tasks. The clubs’ members also made use of social channels such as Youtube, Facebook, Zalo, Instagram, etc to promote the Non nuoc Cao Bang geopark to their friends, families and community. These activities help raise the young people's awareness about the values of the Non nuoc Cao Bang geopark, the environmental protection, preservation and promotion of traditional cultural, historical, and geological heritage and landscapes in the geopark territory.
