The guests participating in the exchange were two famous experts of the program "Window of Love" of Voice of Vietnam - Mr. Dinh Doan and Dr. Minh Phuong.

“Youth’s Luggage” was organized with the aim of exchanging with young people basic knowledge about gender, reproductive health, love, sex, friendship among young people... During the exchange, many dramatic situations were staged and performed by the students themselves revolving around the above knowledge content. Drama situations often have open endings and the audience is asked to propose solutions to the problem.

The highlight of the program is the interaction with guests to directly answer the common secret questions of today's youth such as: how to keep love pure and long-lasting; what to prepare for the first sexual intercourse; how to prevent unwanted pregnancy; consequences of unsafe sex; HIV - infection and prevention... Interspersed between the interaction are musical performances by students and some young singers with themes praising friendship, love, life and many messages of love during the Christmas season.

The program contributes to sending a meaningful message to young people: they should live healthy and useful lives based on good knowledge of sex and reproductive health to protect themselves and their friends; together contribute to the propaganda of HIV prevention as well as sympathize, share and help AIDS patients.
