K-pop stars join hands to help Vietnamese children
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in Vietnam and the Republic of Korea (RoK)’s S.M. Entertainment have recently signed a “Growing with Music” cooperation project with a view to improving inclusive education for Vietnamese children.
A ceremony to sign a cooperation agreement between the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in Vietnam and the RoK’s S.M. Entertainment in order to assist music education for Vietnamese children was held in Hanoi on July 11.
Under the cooperation agreement, S.M. Entertainment – a leading K-pop company – will donate 450,000 USD to UNICEF’s “Growing with Music” project, which stresses music’s positive impacts on the development of children’s life skills from early childhood.
Addressing the signing ceremony, Youssouf Abdel-Jelil, UNICEF’s Representative in Vietnam, said the partnership between UNICEF and S.M. Entertainment illustrates the flourishing cooperation between the Vietnamese and RoK peoples.
The RoK company’s financial support will help children gain the chance to nurture their talents at school and at home, he added.
Speaking at the event, company CEO Kim Young Min said he hopes the project will provide Vietnamese children with opportunities to access proper music education to explore and develop their talents.
Suh Dae Won, Executive Director of the RoK Committee for UNICEF, said education is the most important factor in fostering development.
As Vietnam and the RoK will celebrate 25 years of their diplomatic ties in 2017.
It’s now the right time for the RoK Committee for UNICEF and S.M. Entertainment to launch a project targeting Vietnamese children, he noted.
The “Growing with Music” project will be carried out in three years, until 2019 with the participation of famous music academies and artists.
The project will promote the capacity of teachers and managers from central to grassroots levels, along with parents, to improve music curriculum design and music show organisation at school.
