“Nurturing Knowledge – Soaring Bravely”: Spreading Reading Culture Among Vietnam Airlines Youth

Attending the program from Vietnam Airlines Corporation were Mr. Kieu Anh – Chief of Office, and Mr. Tran Thanh Tuas – Deputy Manager of the Organization and Training Department. Representing the Standing Committee of the Corporation's Youth Union were Ms. Nguyen Thi Trang – Deputy Secretary, and Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tung – Deputy Secretary.

The program was also honored to welcome guest representatives from Tre Publishing House in Hanoi and Blue C Company. The event saw the presence of union officers and members at the live bridge point in Hanoi, along with online bridge points in Da Nang and Tan Son Nhat.

In his opening speech, Comrade Nguyen Thanh Tung affirmed the core role of learning in the journey of dedication. He emphasized that if enthusiasm is the compass for every action, then knowledge is the most enduring internal resource that helps Vietnam Airlines employees spread their wings and fly further.

The bravery of VNA youth is shown not only through solid professional skills but also in cultural depth and a constantly innovating intellect. Reading, therefore, is not just a personal experience but a vital preparation for every member to confidently master technology and bravely face challenges in the digital age. He expressed confidence that this spirit would spread strongly, making reading culture a positive habit that contributes to building the image of knowledgeable and elegant Vietnam Airlines people.

Following that spirit, the program dedicated significant time to an inspiring session by Mr. Kieu Anh. Through close interaction, he guided the members toward the three pillars of human value: Ethics, Wisdom, and Fortitude. He emphasized that knowledge must be transformed into insight and the fortitude to act, while highlighting the power of mindset—the core factor governing every decision and behavior in life.

Mr. Kieu Anh shared that almost every experience today is determined by one's mindset; if we have the right ideology, we will see opportunities even in adversity. Books are the most effective tool to nourish and refine that mindset to remain clear and virtuous.

By encouraging diverse reading from history and economics to psychology, he hoped VNA youth would develop a lifelong need for reading to achieve the happiness of "enlightenment," helping their intellect shine and breaking through long-held personal limitations. Echoing this message, Mr. Le Quang Vu – Director of Blue C, also affirmed that reading helps people "live many lives" and make smarter decisions in the digital age.

The flow of knowledge deepened as Mr. Nguyen Hai Dang introduced the production process of the special publication "Continuing the Aspiration for the Skies" (Viết tiếp khát vọng bầu trời). This book commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Corporation's establishment, weaving individual emotions into a vivid collective story.

Parallel to the traditional flow, Mr. Tran Thanh Tuan introduced the Digital Culture Handbook series, consisting of six volumes. This set serves as a foundation for shaping the awareness and capacity of digital citizens for union members. The series is a practical tool helping VNA youth find solutions and ideas to apply immediately to professional tasks, establishing innovation strategies as the key factor for the airline to maintain its leading position in the digital future.

The closing activity was a creative workshop titled “Golden Lotus Bud.” This crucial part of the final stage served as a bridge to help participants directly transform the knowledge they received into internal strength and specific initiatives. Through the workshop, fresh ideas imbued with youthful creativity were formed, demonstrating the commitment of the VNA younger generation to realizing the values of reading culture in their actual work.

“Nurturing Knowledge – Soaring Bravely” has concluded, but the significance of self-study continues to resonate strongly. The program ignited the awareness for each young person at Vietnam Airlines to turn reading into an intrinsic need, so that knowledge truly becomes the wings that carry the Golden Lotus symbol higher and further on the journey to conquer the new heights of the era.
