The competition aimed to “explore” knowledge about love and safe sex for HUFLIT students. “Sex And Students” in 2023 not only provided a beneficial playground but also served as a platform for HUFLITers to present their perspectives on the knowledge they have sought and learned. Additionally, the competition offered an opportunity for students to further enhance their knowledge of their own and others’ psyches.

The final round consisted of three parts: Warm-up, Debate, and Drama. For the Warm-up section, each participating team prepared their presentation content on topics related to reproductive health, sexually transmitted diseases, unplanned contraceptive methods, safe sex practices, and gender identity.
The participating teams showed great enthusiasm and invested considerable effort into their presentations, from visuals to the core content they selected for the delivery. At the same time, the messages they wanted to convey to the participating students were highly practical.
Through the Warm-up section, the teams were equipped with valuable knowledge about reproductive health and how to protect themselves from the risks of contracting sexually transmitted diseases.
The Warm-up round
During the Debate round, two teams each expressed their opinions in favor of or against the topics provided by the Organizer. The teams randomly selected which side they would defend, either supporting or opposing the two topics: “The trend of single parents. Should it be encouraged or not?” and “LGBT is becoming increasingly common, and this affects the youth. Agree or disagree?”
Each team had its own strengths and outstanding points. With seriousness and sharp arguments backed by evidence, both teams ignited the atmosphere in the auditorium like never before. The performances were highly successful and satisfied both the judges and the participating students.
The judges provided objective feedback and evaluations for each team’s performance, while also sharing their own experiences on how to present their viewpoints in the most persuasive way, aiming to help the participating teams apply these skills in their lives and develop essential soft skills.
The Debate round
In the Drama round, the teams creatively constructed scenarios based on the given themes and performed directly on stage, conveying meaningful messages to the audience in the most authentic and lively manner.
This was the most attractive and highly anticipated part of the program. The teams succeeded in thoroughly exploring and excellently presenting the two themes provided by the Organizing Committee, which were “Sống thử (Cohabitation)” and “Giáo dục giới tính trong môi trường học đường (Sex Education in the School Environment)“.
The Drama round
The Grand Finale of the competition concluded with a range of emotions. Through the competition, HUFLIT students had the opportunity to access knowledge about reproductive health and proper gender education, reinforcing their perspectives on sensitive and difficult-to-discuss issues in life. It can be said that “Sex And Students” in 2023 was not only an academic competition to enhance knowledge but also a platform for HUFLIT students to unleash their creativity and affirm themselves on the path to maturity.
