The week aims to promote the national great unity; honour, preserve and promote values of the cultural heritage of the 54 ethnic groups in the country; and step up cultural exchange activities.
The highlight of the week will be the seventh Then singing and Tinh musical instrument festival of the Tay, Nung and Thai ethnic groups from November 16-18.
After many years taking place in northwestern provinces, this year’s festival will be held at the so-called "common home" of the 54 ethnic groups, demonstrating the spirit of great solidarity, and offering an opportunity for people in the capital city and international visitors to learn about the practice of Then singing recognised as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
Within the framework of the Great Solidarity of Ethnic Groups - Vietnamese Cultural Heritage Week, many art performances and cultural exchanges of different ethnic groups across the nation will take place as well./.
