Launched on 26 March 2026, the photo contest “Mosaics of Work – Những mảnh ghép trong thế giới việc làm” is part of the activities marking National Youth Day in Viet Nam and the World Day for Safety and Health at Work (SafeDay 2026). Running until 28 April 2026, the initiative is co-organized by the ILO Vision Zero Fund (VZF) and the Youth Network on Decent Work, Green Jobs, and Career Development Support.
Focusing on the SafeDay 2026 theme of psychosocial factors at work, the contest invites young people aged 15–30 to capture and share their perspectives on mental wellbeing in the world of work. Participants are encouraged to explore both the challenges and positive aspects of working life through photography, highlighting issues such as work-life balance, pressure, connection, motivation, and a sense of purpose.
Spanning various sectors, from traditional occupations to emerging digital jobs, the contest emphasizes that safe and healthy workplaces involve not only physical protection but also mental wellbeing and dignity. By engaging youth in reflecting on these issues, the initiative aims to raise awareness about supportive working environments, help young people understand the factors shaping their future work conditions, and encourage consideration of mental wellbeing and workplace safety when entering the labour market. Selected entries will be featured on the VZF official website, contributing to ongoing efforts to promote a culture of prevention and decent work for all.
