Aiming to educate students about the awareness and responsibility of a Vietnamese citizen and a global citizen in preserving the environment, conserving the natural world, and building a good community; since the 2019-2020 school year; VAS has begun implementing the first project in its sustainable development journey called "Green Year", where "VAS Greeneration" was formed.
"Greeneration" is a combination of the words "Green" and "Generation" with the meaning "Green Generation".
The sustainable development goal has received the response and companionship of tens of thousands of students, parents, and teachers inside and outside VAS through diverse and practical activities to spread the inspiration of green living and increase social responsibility, environmental protection awareness, and the preservation of fine cultural traditions of the nation.
