Inspiring students to wear Ao dai at schools is a new feature of this year’s festival.

* On November 14, the Ao dai Museum held a ceremony to receive a number of Ao dai donated by teachers, diplomats, and cultural activists.

The donors included former Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Dang Thi Bich Lien, former Deputy Foreign Minister Nguyen Phuong Nga, Eminent Artisan Hong Oanh, teacher Nguyen Binh Minh, and others.

These Ao dai used to be worn by the donors. Notably, there are Ao dai aged over 50 and worn at important domestic and international events.

At the ceremony, the donors held discussions with youths about Ao dai-related stories with close attachment with the national education cause, foreign affairs, and promotion of national culture.

First initiated in 2014, the Ho Chi Minh City’s Ao Dai Festival has become an outstanding cultural and tourism event in the city. The seventh festival will run until November 20 (the Vietnamese Teachers’ Day).
