The event, called “Hanoi Creative Cultural Space Gathering,” was held by the Hanoi Museum to share ideas and support pilot programs in the creative sector, as well as  introduce panel discussions, training sessions, and networking events.  

Five years after joining UNESCO’s Creative Cities Network, Hanoi continues to assert its pioneering role in design and innovation and promote its heritages, said director of the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports Bach Lien Huong.

“Hanoi’s creative community and creative hubs have made efforts to innovate, with many highlights in design, culture, arts, handicrafts, and creative entrepreneurship in recent years. They have not only nurtured new ideas, but also bridged the gap between traditions and modernity, local and international communities,” Huong said.
