The week will highlight Australia’s traditional indigenous culture, and show Vietnamese how modern Australian artists interpret this culture creatively.
Visions of a Nomad - an internationally acclaimed musical group - will perform at the University of Foreign Trade and the University of Commerce in Hanoi. The award-winning Australian musical film, Bran Nue Dae, will be screened at several universities in the capital city.
English language seminars will also be held at some universities to help improve students’ English skills and share with them Australia’s highly successful English teaching methods.
Information drawn from the film and the performances will be integrated into the seminars to deepen students’ understanding of Australian education and culture.
A friendly football tournament will be held between teams from Vietnam’s Ministry of Public Security and police from the Australian State of Victoria.
Meanwhile, the Victorian Police will run a football clinic at the Birla Children’s Village orphanage in Hanoi, and donate sports equipment to the orphanage.
Australian Ambassador to Vietnam, Allaster Cox said, “Australia is proud to share our culture and approach to education with Vietnamese people through Australia Week.”
“Cultural events throughout the week will give many young Vietnamese a new understanding of Australia’s traditional culture, and how that’s been embraced by modern Australian artists. And the English seminars will give Vietnamese students a chance to benefit from Australia’s world-class education and training system,” he said.
