The two-day festival will entertain locals and expats with a wide
range of activities including Learning about Bundesliga, the Brothers Grimm
Beer Festival and a fashion show by the Van Laack Company.
A photo exhibition displaying ten photos on the theme of Buddy Bears (a symbol
of Berlin) by Leica and another exhibition featuring photos about the
diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Germany will be also held.
Festival goers can also enjoy jazz performances and movies about Germany’s
tourism and culture. A pop rock performance by the band Isolation Berlin will
be held on November 3 night.
Addressing the event, Ambassador Christian Berger said the festival aims to
give Vietnamese people gain in insight into diverse aspects of Vietnam-Germany
links.
He added that the event marked a decade of a joint programme on teaching German
in Vietnamese schools. Around 4,000 Vietnamese students are studying German at
school with the support of this programme, and one third of schools where
German is taught are in Hanoi.
Chairman Chung stressed that Germany is one of Hanoi’s most important partners
with nearly 70 investment projects in different fields. Two-way trade between
Hanoi and Germany reaches about 900 million USD a year.

With an increasingly vibrant and widespread emulation movement aimed at building cultured residential areas and cultured families, Yen Thuy District has been making steady progress toward improving both the material and spiritual well-being of its people, while fostering a civilized, prosperous, beautiful, and progressive community.
Once lacking recreational spaces and community facilities, Residential Group 2 in Quynh Lam Ward (Hoa Binh City) has recently received attention for the construction of a new, spacious, and fully equipped cultural house. The project followed the model of state support combined with public contributions in both labor and funding.
The "All people unite to build cultural life" movement, which has been effectively integrated with Kim Boi district’s socio-economic development goals, is fostering a lively spirit of emulation across local residential areas, hamlets, villages, public agencies, and enterprises. In addition, through the initiative, traditional cultural values are being preserved and promoted, while community solidarity and mutual support in poverty reduction and economic development are being strengthened.
A working delegation of the Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee led by its Permanent Vice Chairman Nguyen Van Toan on June 11 inspected the progress of a project to build the Mo Muong Cultural Heritage Conservation Space linked to tourism services in Hop Phong commune, Cao Phong district.
Born and growing in the heroic land of Muong Dong, Dinh Thi Kieu Dung, a resident in Bo town of Kim Boi district, in her childhood was nurtured by the sweet lullabies of her grandmother and mother. These melodies deeply imprinted on her soul, becoming an inseparable part of her love for her ethnic group's culture. For over 20 years, this love for her hometown has driven Dung to research, collect, and pass down the cultural values of the Muong people to future generations.
In the final days of May, the Ethnic Art Troupe of Hoa Binh Province organized performances to serve the people in remote, mountainous, and particularly disadvantaged areas within the province. These were not just ordinary artistic shows, but they were the meaningful journeys aimed at spreading cultural values, enhancing the spiritual life of the people and contributing to the preservation of ethnic minority cultural identities.
