Hanoi seeking for the next “Ambassador of Reading Culture”
Hanoi is all set to launch the contest “Ambassador of Reading Culture” 2017 – 2018.
The contest is co-organised by Hanoi’s Department of Information and Communication, Department of Education and Training, and the Vietnam Intellectual Cooperation Centre (VICC).
“This is the best playground for primary and secondary schools students who have a passion for reading books and wish to transmit their passion to the community and the best venue to promote a reading culture in Vietnam,” a representative from the Hanoi Department of Education and Training explained.
The title “Ambassador of Reading Culture” will be conferred on students in the capital city who will write the best essays on the books they like. The contest is held in Vietnamese and English. Submission deadlines for applications is from now to March 31, 2018. The awards ceremony will be held on May 26, 2018.
In 2016, 27 primary and secondary school students were honored as Hanoi’s “Ambassadors of Reading Culture” in a ceremony held as part of the Hanoi Book Festival. After three months, more than 10,000 students in Hanoi participated in the writing contest to look for ambassadors of reading culture, part of the project “Let’s Read” by the Vietnam Intellectual Cooperation Centre (VICC) aiming to promote a reading culture in Vietnam.
9th grader Nguyen Van Thuy Linh from Ngo Si Lien Secondary School was conferred the title “Hanoi’s Typical Ambassador of Reading Culture 2016”. She had many ideas and wanted to share them with others. For example, Linh wants to set up several book stalls in walking streets around the Sword Lake so that everyone can read and discuss with each other.
“I think there should be a book corner for children in each residential area. Or when students learn history, geography, and science, they should take along the books that they find interesting to have more knowledge apart from what they learn in textbooks,” Linh was quoted as saying.
