The annual event will be organized by the Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in collaboration with relevant units, aiming to connect Vietnamese young people from different parts of the world while fostering the pride that overseas youths have for their home country.
This year's event is scheduled to take place in 10 localities, namely Hanoi, Phu Tho, Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Thua Thien-Hue, and Da Nang, with the opening ceremony to be held in Hanoi while the central beach city of Da Nang will host the closing ceremony.
During the camp, participants will have a chance to visit and learn about the culture, history, and traditions of the country; participate in gratitude and memorial activities; exchange with local youngsters; and take part in voluntary youth programs and competitions, among others.
First held in 2004, the camp has brought thousands of outstanding overseas Vietnamese youngsters from 16-24 years old in various fields to visit their motherland.
