Accordingly, the provincial authorities assigned relevant agencies to well prepare for the project, particularly asking the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism to map out a specific project and collaborate with the provincial Department of Finance for financial support for participants and costs to buy necessary equipment.
The project is expected to not only serve locals’ spiritual life but also to popularize the locality’s cultural specialty of “Quan ho” folk singing, which has been recognized by UNESCO as the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
