Creative space, cultural activities

People of Da Ninh residential group (Dong Son ward) practice performing arts at the cultural house.

In Dong Son ward, the system of cultural houses has been invested in construction and upgraded synchronously during the process of building new rural areas. Up to now, 100% of residential groups have cultural houses with full equipment.

In Da Ninh residential group, the village cultural house is often affectionately called by the people as "the second home of the community". This is a regular meeting place for people who love culture and sports . Every afternoon, the cultural house is bustling with music and the laughter of people participating in volleyball, zumba dancing...

Being here in late October, we got to chat and watch members of the city’s art clubs and teams practice for the upcoming national unity festival. Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh, a member of the Folk Song and Cheo Singing Club, said: “The cultural house is not only a place where we practice and perform art performances, but also a place for clubs and organizations to meet; a place to chat, share information, and strengthen neighborhood ties.”

Head of Da Ninh Residential Group Nguyen Hung Vinh said: “The cultural house is always bustling. People consider this a common space for the whole community. Sometimes it organizes meetings, disseminates policies, laws of the Party and State; deploys activities, discusses the affairs of the street. Sometimes it hosts cultural and sports exchanges of people. The cultural house also has bookshelves and outdoor sports equipment for the elderly and children, so it is suitable for all ages and all activities. In order for the cultural house to function and be preserved, the village has agreed to always keep the cultural house open. At the same time, assigns organizations to be responsible for maintaining activities at the cultural house and cleaning up the environment to ensure hygiene.”

In Hoang Phu commune, along with the communal house system, the cultural house has become a place for community activities closely associated with the lives of the people. Thanks to the investment in spacious and modern construction, fully equipped with amplifiers, speakers, tables and chairs, computers, internet, stage, law bookcases and open operation, the cultural house has effectively promoted its functions.

In Phu Thuong 1 village, the cultural house yard is bustling with laughter in the afternoon. Children play, adults practice yoga, young people play volleyball, and women's association members practice performing arts. Not only that, folk singing clubs, aerobics, volleyball... operate regularly every week, attracting a large number of people to participate. Secretary of Phu Thuong 1 village Party cell Le Van Chien said: "With the motto of building to use, people in the village have actively contributed to building and upgrading a spacious and fully equipped cultural house, attracting a large number of people to come to meetings and play"...

Deputy Head of the Department of Culture and Society of Hoang Phu Commune, Le Thi Thu Hang, said: “We have determined that the cultural house is not only a place to hold conferences, but must become a center of cultural activities, a place where people really want to go. It is the active participation of the people that creates sustainable vitality for grassroots culture. To do that, Hoang Phu Commune has promoted socialization, invested in upgrading the village cultural house system, equipped with more speakers, tables and chairs, projectors, small stages and encouraged associations and organizations to use this space for community activities. Thanks to that, not only on holidays and Tet but every day, cultural and sports activities still take place vigorously at the cultural house.”

Currently, the whole province has 4,302 villages, hamlets and neighborhoods with cultural houses (reaching 98.7%). Thanks to the investment of the State and socialized resources, cultural houses have been newly built and upgraded to meet standards, meeting the cultural needs of the people. Most cultural houses have been put into use, becoming places to propagate and mobilize people to implement the policies, laws of the Party and the State, to practice a civilized lifestyle, and to build a great national unity bloc. All activities of the community, associations and organizations take place at cultural houses. Thanks to activities at cultural houses, people are increasingly aware of the correctness and responsibility in implementing the policies and regulations of the Party, the State and local movements.
