1. Yes, they are. Youth projects and initiatives like Hideaway are common in Vietnam, as the country has a vibrant and active youth population. In my country, there are numerous youth projects and initiatives that aim to create spaces for young people to express their thoughts, opinions, and concerns, and actively involve them in decision-making processes.
2. Yes, I think it’s being done enough in my country to support young people. Because the government, along with non-governmental organizations, has implemented various programs and initiatives to support young people in the country with various areas such as education, health and well-being, youth development programs, environment, community development, entrepreneurship, and social issues.

Hideaway Youth Project
Helping young people to make a difference
Aims
Hideaway tries to support young people aged eleven to twenty-five in Moss Side, Manchester. The organisation aims to give young people a way of expressing their opinions and making positive contributions to society.
History
In the 1960s, the city of Manchester had problems with crime, violence and unemployment. The founders of the Hideaway Youth Project wanted to provide a safe place – a ‘hideaway’ for young people in the Moss Side area in particular.
Since opening in 1965, the project has helped thousands of teenagers of different cultures, religions and races. They can share their stories and get advice, as well as take part in activities that develop skills. Many of these teenagers then go on to become project volunteers themselves.
Activities
Programmes include:
Powerhouse – fun sports activities such as football and basketball, or specialist sessions on cooking and art.
Healthy Living – young people learn about how important it is to eat well and do regular exercise. Young Men’s Project and Young Women’s Project – these two separate projects support and encourage young men and women to talk about sensitive topics openly and honestly. The sessions promote acceptance and tolerance, and build self-confidence.
Award winners
In 2014, the Hideaway Youth Project won the Youth Work Award for their success in helping young people be the best that they can be.
