This year, the Vietnam Festival of Creativity & Design 2020 will celebrate Vietnamese creativity through a series of online and offline activities.

Initiated by RMIT University, the Vietnam Festival of Creativity & Design 2020 will run for 16 days (7-22 November) and will build on the success of last year’s inaugural event, which featured over 35 activities and 25 partners from the cultural and creative sectors.

Previously known as the Vietnam Festival of Media & Design, the 2019 festival focused on Hanoi and directly supported the city’s designation as a new member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network.

This year, the organisers will expand the scope to nationwide by shining a spotlight on the innovative power of Ho Chi Minh City and the heritage of Hue, in addition to Hanoi’s culture and creativity.

The inclusion of more creative areas, such as performing arts and music, and the combination of online and offline platforms are expected to capture a wider audience and create more opportunities for international collaboration.
