Launch of Painting Contest for Vietnamese and Foreign Children

The contest has been jointly arranged by Hanoi’s Department of Culture and Sports and the Hanoi Union of Friendship Organisations with the aim of educating children’s love for peace, promoting the beauty of Hanoi, and arousing children’s passion for painting.

The contest is open to both Vietnamese and foreign teenagers and children from six to 15 years old who are living and studying in Hanoi.

Contestants can draw pictures showcasing local culture, life, or nature; as well as the fight against environmental pollution, poverty, and epidemics.
Paintings can be drawn with optional colours such as watercolours, wax, powder colours, oil paintings, markers, and crayons.

The organisers will receive profiles of entrants between September 15 and 20.

A painting contest will be held at the pedestrian street around Hoan Kiem (Returned Sword) lake on October 10, with contestants drawing for 90 minutes.

Vehicles can easily move on usually-busy two-way streets. Compared to normal days, the traffic moving towards the capital’s gateways is heavy, although there is no signs of severe congestion. A long line of vehicles waits at a green light on Nguyen Trai street. A traffic police officer arrives early on Trieu Khuc street in order to guide the flow of traffic.

During rush hour this morning, the majority of vehicles move at a snail’s pace on Nguyen Trai street. The same situation can be seen on Truong Chinh street.

A training course on solid waste management was held in Yokohama, Japan on September 4th. The course was attended by representatives from local units and authorities in Da Nang, who are implementing waste sorting and 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) programs. This initiative is part of a project sponsored by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and implemented in collaboration with the Japanese Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES). The successful first stage of the project took place five years ago, with the support of these organizations, resulting in the implementation of waste sorting models in the community of Hai Chau and Thanh Khe districts. Building on this success, Da Nang plans to implement solid waste classification at source by 2025. Experts from Yokohama City and the Japanese Institute for Global Environmental Strategy (IGES), along with officials and residents of Nam Duong Ward, Hai Chau District, participated in the waste sorting model in...
