Hanoi (VNA) - Vietnamese art teachers and students a𓆉cross the nation were deeply inspired by the new teaching and learning methods developed under a 10-year Danish project.
The achievements of the “Art Education in Primary school” project, implemented by the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs were announced at the project’s closing workshop in Da Nang on February 25 and 26.
The project aimed to stimulate the creative thinking and cognitive development of children through child-centred teaching methods and materials, according to the Danish Embassy’s press release.
The project was implemented in 63 provinces with a total invesment of 1.2 million USD.
The project’s key outcomes include developing learner-friendly art curricula for the primary level, building capability for more than 600 art teachers and outlining art text books.
Ambassador of Denmark to Vietnam Charlotte Laursen highlighted the positive outcomes of the project and stressed the priority of education cooperation between Denmark and Vietnam.
“Education is a clear priority in the Danish Government's growth market strategy for Vietnam. Education is also included as an important part of the Danish Vietnamese Comprehensive Partnership Agreement,” she said.
“Continued cooperation in the educational sector creates mutual benefits for Denmark and Vietnam. This lays a strong foundation for our continued and further cooperation in the future.”

Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Le Hoang Quan hosted a reception for incoming Danish Ambassador to Vietnam Charlotte Laursen in the southern city on September 29.
Denmark will send experts in food and environment to work in its embassy in Vietnam, Danish Minister of Environment and Food Eva Kjet Hansen told reporters in Hanoi on November 9.
Important achievements in cooperation between Vietnam and Denmark were highlighted at a celebration to mark the 43rd anniversary of Vietnam-Denmark diplomatic relations held in Hanoi on Nov. 25.
Vietnam always attaches importance to further developing friendship and cooperation with Denmark, Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh told newly appointed Danish Ambassador to Vietnam Charlotte Laursen.
Vietnam’s cinematic appeal lies in its diverse settings, from terraced mountains and limestone karsts to bustling markets and ancient towns. Its mix of ethnic vibes, buzzing street life, and old traditions gives directors a goldmine for storytelling.
The Vietnamese team will gather on June 26 in Ba Ria-Vung Tau, where they will train until July 14 before departing for Indonesia for the ASEAN U23 Championship 2025, which runs from July 15 to 29. Vietnam will face Laos on July 19 and Cambodia on July 22 in the group stage.
The exhibition showcases more than 100 valuable documents and artifacts, divided into two main parts: “Journalist Nguyen Ai Quoc – Ho Chi Minh” and “President Ho Chi Minh – Founder and Mentor of Vietnamese Revolutionary Press.” This is an opportunity to recall the late leader’s journalism journey and affirm his exceptional role in founding and guiding the revolutionary press in Vietnam.
For the first time, the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) has granted Vietnam hosting rights for the two championships, including the Asian women’s solo category, which debuts this year as an officially recognised event.
Eight teams will join the tournament, divided into two groups. Group A features Vietnam, the Philippines, Sichuan Club (China), and Australia, while Group B consists of Vietnam U21, Korabelka Club (Russia), Taiwan (China), and U21 Thailand.
Despite strong home support and high expectations, Vietnam were unable to overcome the defending champions, who secured their third consecutive win over Vietnam in a regional final, following previous victories in 2014 and 2023.
The event, part of Vietnam’s cultural diplomacy strategy through 2030, was jointly organised by the Vietnamese Embassy in Venezuela and USM’s Faculty of International Relations. It attracted thousands of students from universities across Venezuela.
For the first time, Vietnamese audiences will have the opportunity to experience the ballet masterpiece "Don Quixote" in its original version by renowned choreographer Marius Petipa.
The contest carried deep meaning as it was the first time the life of Vietnamese women abroad had been highlighted as the central theme, said poet and writer Nguyen Quang Thieu, Chairman of the Vietnam Writers’ Association.
The event formed part of Vietnam’s ongoing campaign to seek UNESCO World Heritage status for the complex at the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, scheduled to take place in Paris in July.
Creative cultural festivals are fast emerging as a new catalyst for tourism development in Vietnam, as localities increasingly invest in these vibrant events on a more systematic and larger scale.
This marks the first time Vietnam has hosted a continental-level Muay event which will feature competitions across 28 weight categories in combat and eight performance categories.
Coming to the Vietnamese booth, visitors had the chance to take part in a bamboo dance, a workshop on painting woven bamboo or rattan, or quizzes about Vietnam.
These are impressive achievements, not only showing the efforts and prowess of Vietnamese paddlers but also serving as proof of the sports sector’s strategic and systematic investment.
The cultural event in Canberra not only fostered cultural exchanges between Vietnam and Australia but also contributed to promoting Vietnam’s image internationally
The U23 competition will run from June 16 to 22, followed by the U17 event from June 23 to 28, while athletes competing in the U23 category will undergo weight and skill checks ahead of the matches starting June 18, while similar checks for U17 athletes will take place before June 23.
