The theme of BridgeFest 2022 is “Be the Change Toward a Human Economy,” encouraging all to realize the importance of humanity and our shared environment above all else. BridgeFest encourages youth to be change agents to reduce social inequality. This concept has resonated with the Vietnamese public and has become the essence of BridgeFest since its inception.
This year, 32 social organizations, enterprises, and youth clubs came together from across the country to make BridgeFest happen. These partnerships represent a concerted effort to resolve social problems relating to the environment, education, healthcare, cultural, sexual and gender identity, persons with disabilities, and women and children toward a better future.
After five successful years based in Hanoi, BridgeFest has become an exciting event that young people look forward to every year. The most recent BridgeFest in 2020 was held at Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square in Hanoi and attracted more than 15,000 people.
BridgeFest 2022 marks the first time the festival will be based in Da Nang, with the hope of spreading a meaningful message to a new audience.
Bridgefest is jointly organized and sponsored by Da Nang People’s Committee, Ministry of Cultural, Sports and Tourism, United States Mission to Vietnam, the Swiss Embassy, and Oxfam.
