The entries that reflect the environment through the eyes of primary school pupils and their different ways to protect the planet have impressed Ambassador of Denmark to Vietnam Kim Højlund Christensen.
The Danish Embassy in Hanoi has helped cultivate the love for nature among Vietnamese kids through a painting contest that earned the participation of thousands of pupils in 28 cities and provinces across Vietnam.

“Denmark in Your Eyes Contest 2018: Green Dreams” has received more than 4,100 entries of art works from nearly 100 schools and art clubs nationwide, showing great interest in the event and the environment. 

“I am very much impressed by the creativeness of the children participating in this year’s competition. Their artworks radiate great imagination and inspiration, conveying strong messages of environmental conservation,” the ambassador said. 

“I am very happy that the competition gave a platform for young children to express their own concerns and feelings towards global environmental issues. In addition it brought our two countries much closer to each other in the fight to protect the environment,” he added.
