When the script was completed, participants were divided into groups to produce a short video with the topic “Promoting linen products of Can Ty”. The content of that video was about the process of producing a linen product such as breaking the flax shells, rolling and boiling the fiber, dyeing, decorating using beeswax, sewing and finishing products.

Participants discussed about the video script

At first, many participants felt uncomfortable with the camera, however, thanks to 3 days with the guidance of the facilitator, participants didn’t feel any difficulties. One of the most especial things is that all the children from 8 to 10 years old were in charge of controlling the camera. They showed the confidence when using camera and create many interesting short video.
