Hanoi (VNA) – The sixth Vietnam Festival of Creativity & Design will be held in November with an array of activities, including exhibitions, workshops, and tours.

Such activities will take place in Hanoi from November 16-22 and Ho Chi Minh City from November 29 to December 5, heard an event jointly held by the Vietnam National Institute of Culture and Arts Studies (VICAS) and RMIT University Vietnam on October 30.

VICAS Director Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Phuong said with the theme “Re-generation”, the festival focuses on environment, community and space, and culture and heritage. The activities aim to inspire the renewal, restoration, or revitalisation of cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible.
