The 4-day camp offers an opportunity for Vietnamese youth to meet and share their experiences of living, studying, and working in a European country. Le Quoc Phong, Chairman of the Vietnam Students Association, said the Ho Chi Minh Youth Union and the Vietnam Students Association have always paid attention to promoting students’ campaigns inside and outside the country. Such activities will help young Vietnamese  people integrate into their host country while maintaining their traditional culture. Mr. Phong said: “This is the third time the summer camp has been held and it has widely attracted the participation of Vietnamese students in Europe. We hope that through those activities, young people are more aware of their responsibilities and do more to contribute to the homeland”.

The program includes art performances and the screening of video clips about the activities of students and youth associations in other countries.
