The Vietnam Summer Camp 2016 aims to create opportunities for the young overseas Vietnamese to study the country’s historical and cultural heritage values.
This year’s programme includes activities in Hanoi, Quang Ninh, Nghe An, Quang Tri, Thua Thien – Hue, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai and Da Nang.
Young Vietnamese expatriates will pay tribute to national heroes and tour many heritage sites such as the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long and Temple of Literature in Hanoi, Ha Long Bay in northern Quang Ninh province, Hue imperial city in central Thua Thien – Hue province and My Son Sanctuary in central Quang Nam province.
Participants will also join in an exchange with students from the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam to discuss cultural preservation among overseas Vietnamese and the significance of seeking global recognition for Vietnamese tangible and intangible heritage.
The youngsters will attend charitable activities such as visiting and presenting gifts to Vietnamese heroic mothers in Thua Thien – Hue, building book shelves for street children, and growing trees at the coastal areas in Da Nang.
On July 11, young Vietnamese expatriates took part in a cultural heritage seminar in Hanoi, an event to help them preserve the country’s cultural identities while living abroad.
At the seminar, about 100 young expatriates and students of the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam were introduced an insight into Vietnam’s world natural and cultural heritage recognised by UNESCO.
The heritage pieces include Ha Long Bay, Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park, Hoi An Ancient Town, Nha Nhac (Vietnamese court music), Quan Ho Bac Ninh folk songs, and Gong culture.
During the seminar, the participants also learned about the role of culture amid globalisation, the significance of the recognised tangible and intangible cultural heritages, and cultural preservation in Vietnam, and overseas Vietnamese communities.
The annual Vietnam Summer Camp is organised by the Foreign Ministry’s Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs.
The annual summer camp aims to help Vietnamese expatriates understand the country’s history, development and international integration process, according to the State Commission for Overseas Vietnamese.
The event also makes a great chance for overseas Vietnamese youth to share experiences with each other and improve their Vietnamese language skills.
