The programme will feature a series of activities such as circus artistic performances, drum dance, show of Korean and Vietnamese traditional clothes, hanji paper decoration and folk games.
The highlight of the event is to explore "culture boxes" through experience activities: wearing costumes, studying and painting costumes. The Korean cultural box is a mobile museum of culture, from tradition to modern, through real artifacts. As each culture box is opened, visitors will understand more about the people of the Republic of Korea.
In particular, the children have the opportunity to enjoy circus performance (Jultagi) - a type of folk culture recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of mankind in 2011.
The program is the result of collaboration between the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology and the Korean Cultural Center in Vietnam, with the participation of nearly 100 volunteers from the Korean Language Faculty under VNU University of Language and International Studies, and the universities, colleges and high schools in Hanoi./.
