The Vietnamese community in the Czech Republic organized the ‘Honoring Vietnamese Language’ competition at the Sapa Shopping Center in Prague. Hosted by the Education Board of the Vietnamese Union in the Czech Republic, the event encouraged young descendants to engage with their national culture through poetry, singing, and painting.

Participants used various artistic mediums to express their connection to Vietnam, such as depicting President Ho Chi Minh or themes of the homeland. Parents noted that while children primarily use Czech in school, families maintain Vietnamese at home to preserve their cultural identity.
