According to information from the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese, the delegation of overseas Vietnamese from South Korea returning to Vietnam consists of 35 people, including 30 students aged 10 to 13 and 5 teachers.
In Vietnam, the delegation will pay a courtesy visit to the leaders of the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese and visit the Korean Cultural Center in Hanoi . In addition, the delegation will visit and learn about historical and cultural sites in Hanoi and the provinces of Quang Ninh and Ninh Binh, and participate in group activities and exchanges at Nguyen Binh Khiem Primary School (Hanoi).
The program is organized to enhance the diversification and innovation of activities for the Vietnamese community abroad in the spirit of Conclusion No. 12-KL/TW of the Politburo on the work with Vietnamese people abroad in the new situation, especially targeting the younger generation of overseas Vietnamese.
This is not only an opportunity for Vietnamese children living in South Korea to return to their homeland, learn about and experience the cultural and historical values of their nation, but also a chance for them to meet and interact with their peers, and together create beautiful and meaningful memories.
The program also provides an opportunity for Vietnamese expatriate children in Korea to explore the country's famous historical and cultural landmarks and experience the life, customs, and traditions of their people. Through these activities, the children will gain a deeper understanding and pride in their homeland, connect with their roots, and thereby build national pride, solidarity, and a sense of responsibility towards the community.
The Vietnamese community in South Korea is a young community, formed only after the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1992. However, it is one of the fastest-growing communities (currently with nearly 277,000 people); and it possesses a spirit of solidarity, diligence in studying and working, and quick integration into local society.
In South Korea, the demand for learning Vietnamese is increasing and receiving strong support from the local government. Since the 2018 school year, several high schools have included Vietnamese as an official subject.
Furthermore, with the implementation of its multicultural policy, the Korean government has supported multicultural centers in provinces and cities nationwide to teach Vietnamese to children of Korean-Vietnamese families and Korean students interested in learning Vietnamese.
Since 2014, South Korea has chosen Vietnamese as a second foreign language in its university entrance examination.
