The event was jointly organised by the British Embassy in Vietnam, the Culture & Art Base Hoi An, the Association of Quang Nam Tourism and former scholars of the UK Government Chevening Scholarship.


Various activities were held during the event, including an environmental improvisational dance performance entitled “The Dance We Made”, by British choreographer Tim Casson, an exhibition on marine animals, film screenings and discussions on the environment, an exhibition on the results of the contest on turning garbage into art works, and an online interactive music performance held simultaneously between artists in UK and Hoi An, among others.


Hoi An is one of the cities heavily affected by climate change and it often faces many unusual dangers caused by weather, such as storms and big floods.


At the event, British Deputy Consul General in Ho Chi Minh City, Sam Wood and the group of Hoi An’s Reading Ambassadors, read books about the environment to children, raising awareness about environmental protection.


Sam Wood said that the UK is committed to accompanying Vietnam in the implementation of sustainable development goals. In addition to undertaking joint development projects, on mitigating the effects of climate change and promoting investment in renewable energy, the UK is pleased to support Vietnam in its human resource development, through the granting of full Chevening scholarships, to a wide range of disciplines, including environment and sustainable development.


Participants also had the opportunity to discuss the harmful effects of plastic waste on the ocean and marine species and offer solutions to limit plastic waste and protect the environment through green lifestyles.
