Twenty families representing the coast guard and fisheries surveillance forces will be invited to attend various cultural activities during the Family Day celebration in Hanoi. They will also meet with host families at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism headquarters on June 23.
The Vietnam Culture and Arts Exhibition Centre will host several events from June 26-28, including a photo exhibition entitled ‘Four Seasons of Love’, which features 100 moments of reunion from different parts of the country.
Nearly 150 families from various ethnic groups in Hanoi will be feted at a conference organised at the centre.
Also planned during the event are a workshop on community healthcare models, another on enhancing men’s role in family life, quiz shows for family members and children, and a doubles table tennis tournament (to encourage team work between family members).
On the afternoon of June 28, participating families will sign a huge map made up of dozens of family photos, aiming to set a national record.
The Vietnam National Village for Ethnic Culture and Tourism in Dong Mo, located 40 km to the west of Hanoi, will host a series of events under the themes of ‘Great Family of Vietnamese Ethnic Groups‘ and the ‘Fatherland’s Sacred Sovereignty’ on June 28 and 29.
The events should attract more than 200 people of 32 ethnic groups from eight cities and provinces, as well as around 500 representatives from the Vietnam People’s Army and 300 Youth Union members from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
Three traditional worship ceremonies will be held at the village, including the Po Riyak Sea God Worshipping Ceremony of the Cham ethnic group in Ninh Thuan province.
The ‘Le Khao Le The Linh Hoang Sa‘ (Feast and Commemoration Festival for Hoang Sa Soldiers) will be organised by fishermen from Ly Son Island, Quang Ngai province, in tribute to the men enlisted for the flotilla patrolling the Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagos to tap natural resources and defend the nation’s sovereignty.
An exhibition displaying different materials including paintings and photographs of Vietnam’s seas and islands will be organised at the village together with documentary screenings on the same theme.
Vietnamese Family Day has been organised every year since 2001.
