Programme inspires children to read
15:00, 2014/04/03
A special “Storytelling train” event was held in the central city of Da Nang on April 2 with the aim of instilling Vietnamese children with a love of reading and encouraging them to enhance their language acquisition.
The event, which shapes part of a literature project between the Danish Embassy in Vietnam, the Danish Writers Association and Kim Dong Publishing House, also means to fuel the creativity of local writers and artists as well as help children across the country access a new variety of books.
 

More than 300 books were presented to the municipal Children’s Cultural House - which is home to a book club of 700 members and nearly 3,000 book titles, as part of the project. 

Many activities were also held for bookworms during the programme, such as a quiz, storytelling, story writing and painting, all aiming to develop a reading culture and habit for the youngsters. 

The organising board also took the occasion to call on members of the local arts and literature association to take part in the 2013-2015 story creating campaign. 

The competition will include two categories for children. Children aged 3-6 will enter comic stories titled “Ngay toi gap …” (The day I met …), while 10-14 year olds will compose prose writing on the theme “Go cua trai tim” (Knocking at the door to love).
