After a day of intense and exciting competition, eight teams from eight universities delivered remarkable performances. In the end, the REDA team from Duy Tan University’s Faculty of Law won the Consolation Prize and the Most Popular Team award, based on votes from the competition’s official Facebook page.

The REDA team consisted of eight members: Nguyen Vu Hung (K26 LKT HP), Tu Van Hoa (K26 LKT HP), Hoang Nhat Linh (KK26 LKT HP), Mai Dong Sun (K27 LTH2), Ly Thi Men (K27 LKT HP), Duong Thi Hong Ngoc (K27 LKT HP), Nguyen Thi Truong Yen (K27 LKT HP), and Nguyen Anh Kha (K28 LKT2).

In the final round, teams competed in three stages: a general knowledge quiz, a practical presentation round, and a dramatization round in the form of skits. Reflecting on the competition, team member Nguyen Thi Truong Yen shared:

“This was my first time participating in a national-level competition, and I felt both excited and nervous. After more than two months of hard work and preparation, our REDA team gave our best in every round. Although the results did not meet our expectations, we gained valuable experience and created beautiful memories. We hope to have more opportunities to participate in other meaningful competitions in the future. I would also like to thank the Faculty leadership and the university for giving us the chance to learn, gain experience, and connect with universities from across the country.”
