With the spirit of welcoming the Lunar New Year of the Horse 2026, symbolizing the opening of intellect and fortune, the event was organized by DDC Education, Viet Heritage Education, the Viet Trung Hue Foreign Language Center, the ISEE English Club, and the Diplomatic Protocol Club. It was accompanied by the International School - Hue University, Keiser University Hue, and the Ancient Capital of Hue Model United Nations - ACHMUN.
The highlight of the program was a sharing session by Mr. Tran Sy Chuong, an economist and an alumnus of the University of California, the London School of Economics and Political Science, and the Johns Hopkins University.
He delivered an message: “If you are proud of Hue, do not let Hue remain poor. Besides preserving heritage and culture, Hue also possesses mountains, rivers, the Tam Giang Lagoon, and the sea... young people need to find ways to create real value for their homeland rather than simply leaving Hue”.
