for the next generations.
The beneficiaries of the VietkidzNZ, which was established in 2014 in Wellington, are children aged from two and above. They are divided into two groups: one including under-five children and the other grouping children aged from six and above.
Each group will have its own programme designed with interactions in the form of “learning through playing”. Classes are held every two weeks and children are encouraged to use only Vietnamese.
Nguyen Thi Thanh Ha, head teacher of the programme, said VietkidzNZ is striving to develop more channels as well as organising more activities to bring the community together, helping creating a favourable environment as well as opportunities for children to practice Vietnamese and have a better understanding of Vietnamese unique cultural values such as folk festivals or games.
