From this awareness, the Dak Lak People’s Council has issued many thematic resolutions, treating culture as a foundation for development and as a “lifeline” to unlock policies, budgets, and community initiatives. According to the Dak Lak Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, by 2024, the province had 481 cultural and artistic teams and groups operating in villages and hamlets. What is heartening is that this spirit is not only spreading in community spaces but is also being carried forward by the Central Highlands youth. Y Xim's project won second prize in the provincial Startup Competition in 2022, but the greatest value is how he turned resolutions on cultural preservation and environmental protection into sustainable livelihoods. People no longer view cultural preservation as "the state's business" but as an essential part of life.
