Educational room features Ho Dynasty Citadel
Over 60 students from Pham Van
Hinh secondary school explored how Ho Dynasty Citadel was built at a
specialised educational room that opened in Vinh Loc district, the
central province of Thanh Hoa on May 19.
A
joint effort of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organisation (UNESCO), the Japanese Trust Fund and the Conservation
Centre for Ho Dynasty Citadel, the establishment of the educational room
was in response to the campaign “Building friendly schools, active
students” in the 2012 – 2013 academic year and a programme to
incorporate education on cultural heritage into school curricula.
Nguyen Xuan Toan, Deputy Director of the Conservation Centre for Ho
Dynasty Citadel said the room was built to educate young generations on
the Citadel’s values, thus raising their awareness of preserving and
upholding them.
In the time to come, the centre
will invite more students in the province to discover the construction
techniques for the Citadel, he said.
Also known as
the Tay Do Citadel, the ancient building is different from many other
citadels in that it was built with huge stone slabs taken from the
nearby mountains. The Citadel was recognised as a World Heritage site in
2011.-VNA
