In its journey accompanying the younger generation in building a safe, humane, and inspiring educational environment, the University of Languages and Social Sciences (LHSS), Duy Tan University, participated in a special thematic sharing session titled "Building Beautiful Friendships – Say No to School Violence," organized by Phan Chau Trinh High School on the morning of October 24, 2026. The program left profound impressions, attracting enthusiastic and vibrant responses from a large number of teachers and students.
As one of the leading training institutions in the fields of Languages, Culture, Communications, and Social Sciences, LHSS consistently emphasizes spreading humanistic values and positive life skills beyond the university lecture hall. The thematic sharing session at Phan Chau Trinh High School is clear evidence of the University's efforts to bring applied knowledge into the school setting. Serving as the keynote speaker of the program was Ms. Truong Thi Nhu Hang, M.A. – Head of the General Administration Office, University of Languages and Social Sciences (Duy Tan University). With the advantage of being an alumna of Phan Chau Trinh High School, Ms. Truong Thi Nhu Hang created a warm, close, and deeply empathetic dialogue space, helping to bridge all distances and transforming a seemingly dry psychological topic into an emotionally rich experiential journey for the students.
Recognizing the psychological pressures and increasingly complex risks of school violence in the digital era, the program was designed by LHSS in an interactive, practical, and highly applicable manner rather than relying on generic theory. Through the speaker's vivid delivery, Phan Chau Trinh High School students gained extremely practical and tangible values:
- Resolving Conflict through the 3T Formula (Respect – Understanding – Frankness): Students were guided on civilized conduct within a collective, learning to respect individual differences, to listen, and to proactively offer sincere feedback instead of spreading negative information or isolating friends.
- Accurately Identifying the 4 Levels of School Violence: The speaker helped students clearly distinguish the boundary between "innocent teasing" and psychologically harmful behaviors such as: covert violence (collective exclusion), verbal violence (body shaming), cyber violence, and physical violence that violates the law.
- Equipping the 4S Rule to Cope with School Storms: Students practiced the 4S Skill Set (Stop – Safe – Share – Support) to bravely protect themselves, maintain safe distance, know how to speak up and share with teachers/family, and proactively act as a "shield" to support friends who are being isolated.
The most emotionally impactful highlight of the thematic session was the lesson drawn from the experience of smoothing out a crumpled piece of paper. Through the speaker's visual demonstration, the students directly realized that the wounds from derogatory words or violent behavior are like creases that cannot be erased. This valuable lesson strongly impacted their awareness, helping them be more careful and fill their daily words and actions with more love.
The resounding success of the sharing session not only brought joy, confidence, and a practical "armor" of skills to Phan Chau Trinh High School students but also affirmed the position, reputation, and positive social responsibility of the University of Languages and Social Sciences (Duy Tan University) in creating a safe, humane, and happy educational environment for the future generation.
