The event is jointly held by the Hanoi municipal Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, the Vietnamese Students Association (VSA), and the Academy of Finance.
Festival-goers can take part in an array of activities, including an English contest, a book fair, and a cultural space, introducing the typical cultural features in Vietnam, Japan, Laos, Germany, and China.
A seminar on digital transformation in the financial-banking sector, a skill-sharing workshop, a teambuilding programme and a music night, are also scheduled within the framework of the festival.
At the opening ceremony, the organising board presented the ‘Sinh Vien 5 Tot’ (Five-Virtue Students) award to 46 collectives and 53 individuals, who showed good morality, high academic achievement, enthusiastic participation in voluntary service, and impressive community engagement over the past year.
