Joining hands to build grassroots cultural life - Imprint of emulation movement in the culture, sports and tourism sector

In recent years, the patriotic emulation movement launched by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) has become a strong driving force to encourage localities and units in the whole sector to constantly innovate, be creative, and strive to overcome difficulties to complete assigned tasks. Notable among them is the emulation movement "MCST joins hands to build grassroots cultural life", a large movement with wide influence, contributing significantly to consolidating the cultural foundation, improving the quality of spiritual life of people, especially in remote areas, remote areas, and ethnic minority areas.

Deeply aware of the role of grassroots culture - where cultural activities directly related to people's daily lives take place, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has identified the emulation movement to build grassroots cultural life as one of the key tasks. Through many specific programs and plans, the movement has encouraged localities to focus on building cultural institutions, improving the quality of mass cultural and sports activities, promoting communication about civilized lifestyles, building cultural families, cultural villages, and cultural residential areas. Movements such as "All people unite to build cultural life", "New rural areas and civilized urban areas", "Cultural standard agencies and units" ... have been widely deployed, becoming important criteria in assessing the level of sustainable development of each locality. In many provinces, building grassroots cultural life is not only an administrative task but has become an inherent need of the community.

Spreading creative examples and models from the grassroots

One of the sustainable values ​​that emulation and reward work brings is the emergence of many good models and effective practices from grassroots practices. Many communes and villages have proactively mobilized social resources to repair and build new cultural houses; organize folk art clubs, community sports clubs; maintain cultural activities on holidays, New Year, Green Sunday; mobilize people to preserve their language, writing, and traditional costumes. In ethnic minority areas, the emulation movement becomes more meaningful when associated with preserving cultural identity, raising community awareness, limiting social evils, and building a civilized lifestyle. The models of "green - clean - beautiful cultural villages", "effective cultural houses", "cultural - sports clusters", "5 no 3 clean families", "civilized urban streets"... are vivid proof of the spirit of creative emulation and consensus of the people.

Reward and recognition work - timely recognition, creating motivation for voluntary and continuous competition

Along with the emulation movement, the commendation work in the culture, sports and tourism sector has been increasingly innovated in a timely, fair, transparent manner, and focused on praising the right people, the right work, and the right achievements. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has increased extraordinary commendation for collectives and individuals with outstanding achievements in building grassroots cultural life; at the same time, praising advanced models at national conferences, mid-term and final conferences of the sector. Timely honoring not only encourages the spirit but also creates a spillover effect, promoting many localities to learn and replicate new models. Advanced models of the sector such as dynamic communal cultural officers, dedicated folk artisans, grassroots sports coaches or people actively preserving heritage... have all become beautiful images, strongly inspiring the community.

Strengthening inter-sectoral coordination - Improving the effectiveness of emulation movements

In order for the emulation movement to build a grassroots cultural life to achieve sustainable results, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has proactively coordinated with the Vietnam Fatherland Front, the Vietnam Women's Union, the Ministry of Education and Training, the Ministry of Information and Communications ... to synchronously deploy programs related to civilized lifestyle, cultural families, prevention of domestic violence, preservation of cultural heritage, and development of community sports. Many localities have included the target of building a grassroots cultural life in the Party's resolutions and annual socio-economic development plans; at the same time, allocating budgets for investment in cultural institutions, creating conditions for the emulation movement to be implemented systematically and long-term.

In the current context, when the urbanization and integration process is increasingly deep, grassroots cultural life is facing many new challenges: the introduction of foreign cultures, the risk of losing traditional culture, social evils, domestic violence, the gap in cultural enjoyment between regions... That requires the emulation movement of the Culture, Sports and Tourism sector to continue to innovate its content and methods of operation. The sector clearly defines its goals: building a healthy cultural environment from each family, each hamlet; enhancing the application of information technology in the management and organization of cultural activities; digital transformation in libraries, museums, and cultural houses; improving the quality of grassroots cultural staff; encouraging artistic creation in the community; promoting mass sports movements, contributing to improving people's health and quality of life.

The emulation movement "The Culture, Sports and Tourism Sector joins hands to build grassroots cultural life" is not only a slogan but has become a real action, contributing to building a solid cultural foundation for the country's sustainable development. Each collective and individual in the sector is an important nucleus creating a new look for grassroots culture - the origin of national culture, a place to foster good values ​​and spread the spirit of solidarity, creativity and humanity. Promoting the achieved results, we believe that the patriotic emulation movement of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Sector will continue to be expanded, innovated and created more, contributing positively to the cause of improving the cultural life of the people, building a healthy, progressive cultural environment rich in Vietnamese identity./.
