The cultural event will feature a vast array of activities, including conferences, exhibitions, art performances, music, art installations, among others.
The seminar entitled “Unleashing Creativity Week - Hanoi 2021” will be the highlight of the event where managers, policymakers and investors will assess the potentials, advantages, and disadvantages of Hanoi in building creative communities, find design ideas and exploit the capital’s creative spaces, thereby, contributing to enhancing Hanoi’s competitive position as the “Creative Kingdom” in Southeast Asia.
The creativity week serves as the premise for a namesake annual event series, aiming to create a platform connecting the cultural and creative resources of Hanoi, embracing the quintessence of cultural heritage so that the city matches its status as a Creative City in Design, a member of UNESCO Creative Cities Network.

The event is jointly held by the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports and the Architecture Magazine collaborating with UNESCO in Vietnam and the Hoan Kiem District People’s Committee.
It is vital that Vietnam build a “normative cultural value system” for its people to take as a reference and avoid deviant behaviors that harm the development of society and tarnish the national image.
Fostering national tourism based on cultural values and available heritage is considered an effective solution for the sector to overcome challenges after the Covid-19 pandemic.
Cultural experts discussed solutions to help Hanoi fulfill its responsibilities as a member of UNESCO’s “Creative Cities” network.
