Vietnamese cultural heritage preservation efforts

Overview

Efforts to preserve and promote Vietnamese cultural heritage continue through diverse initiatives within Vietnam and among international diaspora communities.

In Germany, the ‘Mãi Tò Mò’ project, established by Thủy Lê-Scherello, connects overseas Vietnamese families with their roots by placing children’s books and stories in community spaces. In Australia, the Viet-Aus Culture Exchange Organisation (VACEO) conducts weekly music and dance classes in Bankstown, Sydney, teaching traditional instruments and regional customs.

Within Vietnam, cultural practitioners are integrating traditional values into modern industries and digital platforms. Recent musical programs have highlighted regional identities, such as the ‘Am vang phuong Nam’ program in Can Tho, which blended Southern folk melodies with modern songs to foster a love for the homeland. Additionally, the ‘Di san tiep noi’ program utilized music, stagecraft, and documentary footage to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Searefico, featuring artists like People's Artist Ta Minh Tam to bridge memory and future aspirations.

Broader national and international efforts include the second Cultural Exchange Day in Paris, which showcased Hue-inspired ao dai and performances by the Que Huong choir. Domestically, preparations for Vietnam Culture Day 2026 involved 34 provinces through art exhibitions and tourism activities.

A significant milestone in digital transformation was reached with the official launch of the Vietnam Digital Cultural Map (CMAP) platform by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. Launched at the Temple of Literature in Hanoi as part of the ‘Quintessence of Learning’ digital art program, the platform, accessible via cmap.vn, allows users to search for heritage sites, museums, festivals, and art programs across 34 provinces. As of November 1, the system had announced 391 events, serving as a tool for both public discovery and management agency monitoring.
