On September 30th, the Center for Social Research and Development (CSRD) held a workshop titled ‘Sharing Research Findings and Community Consultation on Aquatic Biodiversity and a Proposal for an Aquatic Resource Conservation Area in A Sap River’ in A Luoi communes.

Before flowing into neighboring Laos, the A Sap River gathers alluvial deposits that enrich the riverbanks, creating a vast watershed for the A Luoi region. From this advantage, “fishermen” in the highlands have developed capture fisheries and aquaculture, contributing to the formation of a riverside community - future prosperous “fishing villages” along the river.

Following the success of its first season, the Song2Light Art Market season 2, themed “Cooltopia”, officially taken place. The event, organized by Song Centre Hue Creative Space in collaboration with Sap Nghe Cultural Gift Shop, took place from July 18 - 20.
