On October 12th 2015, the Food and Agriculture Organization of Viet Nam and Vin School gathered to celebrate a certificate ceremony for students who joined FAO’s World Food Day poster contest. In total, 100 Students participated and their posters were submitted to FAO’s Global contest platform. Every student received a certificate of participation and top 5 students were granted small gifts from FAO Viet Nam. 

On top of the certificate ceremony, an exhibition was held as an opportunity for students to show their talent and interest in food issues in response to the World Food Day theme, “Social Protection and agriculture: breaking the cycle of rural poverty”.

The World Food Day Poster Contest is one of the oldest FAO outreach projects involving students across the globe. Since its launch, the WFD poster contest has inspired thousands of children and young people to put their creativity and talents to work and figure out ways to fight poverty and hunger in their countries.
