In Fukuoka and across the Kyushu region, numerous initiatives in Vietnamese language education have already been introduced and are gradually expanding. Collaboration among representative agencies, associations, and the wider community has proven practical, fostering the foundation of a sustainable ecosystem for Vietnamese language teaching.

On this occasion, the Organizing Committee launched the competition “Learning Vietnamese with Fun, Honoring Uncle Ho”, featuring diverse formats such as storytelling, singing, drawing, and video creation. The contest aims to bring Vietnamese back into daily life, not only assessing language skills but also nurturing emotional connections and strengthening community bonds. It serves as a bridge linking younger generations with their cultural roots.

Concluding the seminar, Professor Nguyen Minh Thuyet presented the second volume of Learning Vietnamese with Fun.
