On this occasion, the Management Board of Non Nuoc Cao Bang UNESCO Global Geopark coordinated and supported Robotics Team 11 in promoting the geopark through a display booth at the event. The promotional materials included banners, posters, brochures, promotional publications, traditional costumes of ethnic minorities in Cao Bang, geopark-themed uniforms, and traditional handmade souvenirs such as brocade keychains, handmade paper fans, and naturally dyed traditional paper notebooks.
Through this meaningful activity, the image of the Non Nuoc Cao Bang UNESCO Global Geopark was widely shared with international friends attending the competition, contributing to the promotion of Cao Bang’s unique geological, cultural, and natural heritage. At the same time, the activity instilled a sense of pride and strengthened the sense of responsibility among the students in the team to preserve and promote the heritage values of their homeland.
