As an annual activity, the Vietnamese language teaching training course for overseas Vietnamese teachers organized by the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese not only aims to improve professional qualifications, pedagogical skills and update knowledge, but also creates opportunities for teachers to learn more about the history, culture and traditions of the nation.

Through visits to historical sites, museums and scenic spots in Hanoi and neighboring localities, students have had rich experiences, thereby nurturing their attachment to their homeland and further motivating them to continue spreading the Vietnamese language in Vietnamese communities around the world.
