On April 19 and April 26, the Community Health Club of Hanoi Medical University (PHC) in collaboration with the Department of Environmental Health and the Hanoi University Cinema Club (Hanu Ciné) successfully organized the movie screening program "Green Message – Green message in Ghibli movies” for interested students. This is a meaningful event that connects cinema with urgent issues of public health and the environment. 
The program introduces two classic masterpieces of the Japanese Studio Ghibli: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984) and Princess Mononoke (1997). The movie Nausicaä takes viewers on a journey to find harmony between humans and nature after severe destruction. The movie Princess Mononoke raises questions about balance when nature rises up against insatiable greed. Through these two films, audiences not only experience emotional stories but also have the opportunity to reflect on meaningful messages related to the environment and health.
The program is organized with the goal of creating an in-depth discussion between cinema and public health. The content focuses on how to convey health education messages related to environmental protection and ecological preservation. The screenings aim to explore how films can be inspirational tools, helping to raise awareness about the connection between human health and the ecosystem. From there, the audience is encouraged to take specific actions such as recycling, saving resources or reducing carbon emissions. The program is especially aimed at young people - people who are easy to approach and have the ability to spread positive values in the community.
The film screening and discussion session were honored to have the presence of interested students and two speakers who are lecturers from the Department of Environmental Health, School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health: PhD.BS Cao Thi Thu Ha and M.Sc. Tran Minh Hai. With the guidance of the two teachers, the discussion became close, easy to understand but still profound. The sharing not only expands knowledge about environmental health but also helps the audience realize the important role each individual plays in protecting the blue planet.
Through the program, participants not only feel the message but are also inspired to take specific actions such as recycling, saving resources, reducing carbon emissions or simply living greener every day.
