A stakeholder consultation workshop on Vietnam's National Report on the implementation of the UNESCO 2005 Convention for the 2020-2023 period has underscored the need for refined policies and strategies to unlock resources and propel the growth of Vietnam's cultural industries.

The UNESCO Office in Vietnam in coordination with the Centre for Vocational Education and Training under the Trade Union of Ba Ria-Vung Tau province on February 26 launched a project on facilitating access to vocational and transferable skills for out-of-school children and youth in Vietnam.

The project 'Road to Hung Kings’ Kingdom' in VR (virtual reality) has kicked off to spread the UNESCO-recognised practice of worshipping Hung Kings Day and Vietnamese traditional culture in general.

UNESCO attaches special importance to cooperation with Hanoi, especially in preserving and upholding the values of cultural heritages, said chief representative of UNESCO Office in Vietnam Michael Croft.
