Vietnamese women in Europe spread the spirit of celebrating 80th National Day September 2

On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2, from August 19 to 31, the Union of Vietnamese Women in Europe initiated the program "Vietnamese Costume Walk in Europe - a journey of cultural connection, spreading the national spirit in 8 major cities in Europe.

Ms. Nguyen Viet Trieu - President of the Union of Vietnamese Women in Europe said that to show gratitude for the contributions of our ancestors in building and defending the country, and at the same time to arouse national pride in the overseas Vietnamese community, the Union of Vietnamese Women in Europe initiated, launched and sponsored a special community cultural program called "Vietnamese Uniforms for Walking in Europe".

The program "Vietnamese Costume Walk in Europe" is a journey to connect cultures and spread national spirit in 8 major cities in Europe.

As a pioneer, the Union of Vietnamese Women in Europe not only organized the event but also played a role in connecting dozens of associations, businesses and Vietnamese communities in many countries, turning "Vietnamese Uniform Walking" into a common journey of overseas Vietnamese across Europe.

The event will take place simultaneously in many major cities in Europe, gathering thousands of Vietnamese people in Ao Dai and traditional costumes of the three regions. The series of outstanding activities include: Ao Dai and national costume parade, folk art performances, cultural exchange with international friends and connecting generations of Vietnamese people living abroad.

The program began with a map of Vietnam, celebrating the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19) in Warsaw (Poland). The image of the bright red flag with a yellow star and the shape of the country appearing in the middle of the square seemed to recreate the heroic spirit of the historic autumn, recalling the moment when the Vietnamese people took power into the hands of the people, opening an era of independence and freedom.

The program continues in Bratislava (Slovakia) on August 24 with a lion dance and a parade of national costumes. On August 29, in Liberec (Czech Republic) and Kosice (Slovakia), there will be a parade through European landmarks rich in historical value. Finally, on August 31, Utrecht (Netherlands), Vienna (Austria) and Brno (Czech Republic) will simultaneously perform Vietnamese identity in the heart of Europe, while in London (UK) there will be a wreath-laying ceremony at the place where President Ho Chi Minh worked in 1913.

The program is accompanied by Vietnamese associations, women's associations, business associations, and student associations in many countries, joining hands to spread the message "Brilliant Vietnamese costume - Vietnamese soul reaches far". That message affirms: no matter where you are, love for the homeland and Vietnamese identity will always be preserved and shine.
