Lifelong learning week 2025: Edupixel - Pixels of knowledge

     In response to Official Dispatch No. 5607/BGDĐT-GDNNGDTX issued by the Ministry of Education and Training regarding the organization of “Lifelong Leaing Week,” the Library of the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam, in collaboration with the DAV Book Club (DBC), organized the event series “EduPixel: Pixels of Knowledge.” The activities took place from November 3 to November 8, 2025, within the Academy’s campus. Featuring meaningful and practical activities, the series aimed to promote a culture of leaing among students, enhance awareness of self-directed leaing in the context of digital transformation and inteational integration, and expand access to diverse leaing methods, thereby contributing to the development of lifelong leaing capacities. At the same time, the program encouraged the maintenance of reading culture and environmental consciousness through book exchange and reuse activities, while providing students with effective leaing strategies in the digital era, fostering proactive and creative leaing mindsets.

     The 2025 “EduPixel: Pixels of Knowledge” series included two key activities: “EcoPixel: Sprouting Knowledge” and the workshop “EduPixel: Decoding Knowledge.”

     The “EcoPixel: Sprouting Knowledge” activity served as the opening highlight of the week, taking place from November 3 to November 6, 2025, in the lobby of Building D. During the event, students were encouraged to bring used books, comics, textbooks, or newspapers to the EcoPixel booth to exchange them for “Pixel Points” - as known as “pixels of knowledge” - which could then be redeemed for plants, books, or study materials. The activity received enthusiastic participation, helping raise awareness of resource reuse, cost-saving habits, and environmental responsibility. Through this initiative, DBC aimed to inspire students to value the reuse of leaing materials, convert knowledge into digital value, and from that, transform it into green value - forming a positive, sustainable cycle that connects knowledge, technology and environmental growth.

     Alongside this, DAV Book Club also hosted the “Pixel Quest” minigame at the EcoPixel booth. By scanning a QR code, students could take part in interactive challenges related to the DAV Library, books, and environmental topics; as well as complete missions and receive rewards. Through this “leaing through play” format, DAV Book Club introduced students to the DAV digital library and online leaing resources, while promoting curiosity, independent leaing, and an active approach to exploring knowledge.

     In addition, DAV Book Club successfully organized the workshop “EduPixel: Decoding Knowledge” on November 8, 2025, in Room D205 at the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam. The workshop fostered an interactive atmosphere where students had the opportunity to engage directly with the speaker, Lê Bá Huy - Founder & CEO of Techcamp Vietnam and a specialist in digital transformation in education.

     During the workshop, the speaker introduced a method for “decoding knowledge” from books to understand, analyze, and apply insights effectively to real-life leaing and practice, as well as ways to develop critical thinking through reading. The discussion then moved toward the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in leaing and research, with the speaker sharing approaches for using AI as a “knowledge assistant,” while emphasizing that human reasoning, intention, and interpretation remain central to the leaing process. The workshop also guided students on effectively accessing digital academic resources, particularly the DAV’s Digital Library on the Libol Bookworm platform. The Q&A session took place in an open and engaging manner, allowing students to receive practical advice and experience-based insights. Through this workshop, DAV Book Club conveyed a message about approaching knowledge in a proactive way in the digital age - where reading is not just about absorbing information, but about decoding layers of meaning, methods, and applicable value embedded within each book.
