UNESCO week highlights culture’s role in development
This is the first time
the event has been held in Vietnam to review UNESCO-funded projects on
culture and development and set orientations to enhance culture’s role
in sustainable development.
A wide range of
activities will be held during the week, including policy dialogues and
seminars on culture and tourism in relation with social development in
Vietnam.
On the framework of the event, audiences in
Hanoi will have chances to enjoy free film screenings, introducing
documentaries made by young Vietnamese filmmakers. The
documentaries, produced during training courses funded by UNESCO,
examine different cultural aspects from a community perspective. They
address various issues and challenges the Vietnamese society faces,
including ethnic minorities’ integration in Hanoi, and the life of
residents under Long Bien Bridge in Hanoi.-VNA
