Delegation of overseas Vietnamese teachers and children in Korea visit Vietnam

According to information from the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese, the delegation of overseas Vietnamese in Korea returning to Vietnam consists of 35 people, including 30 students aged 10 to 13 and 5 teachers.

In Vietnam, the delegation will pay a courtesy visit to the leaders of the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese and visit the Korean Cultural Center in Hanoi . In addition, the delegation will visit and learn about historical and cultural relics in Hanoi and the provinces of Quang Ninh and Ninh Binh, and participate in exchanges and group activities at Nguyen Binh Khiem Primary School (Hanoi).

The program is organized to increase the diversification and innovation of activities for the Vietnamese community abroad in the spirit of Conclusion No. 12-KL/TW of the Politburo on work with Vietnamese people abroad in the new situation, especially towards the young generation of overseas Vietnamese.

This is not only an opportunity for overseas Vietnamese children in Korea to return to their homeland, learn and experience the cultural and historical values of the nation, but also an opportunity for them to meet and interact with friends of the same age, and together build beautiful and meaningful memories.

The program is also an opportunity for overseas Vietnamese children in Korea to explore the country's famous historical and cultural sites and experience the life and customs of the nation. Through the activities, children will understand more and be proud of their homeland, connect with their roots, thereby building national pride, solidarity and a sense of responsibility to the community.

The Vietnamese community in Korea is a young community, newly formed after the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1992. However, this is one of the fastest growing communities (currently with nearly 277,000 people); and has a spirit of solidarity, hard work, study, and quick integration into the host society.

In Korea, the demand for learning Vietnamese is increasing and receiving active support from the local government. Since the 2018 school year, some high schools have included Vietnamese as an official subject.

In addition, with the implementation of the multicultural policy, the Korean government has supported multicultural centers in provinces and cities nationwide to organize Vietnamese language teaching for children of Korean-Vietnamese cultural families and Korean students interested in Vietnamese.

Since 2014, Korea has chosen Vietnamese as the second foreign language in the university entrance exam.
