The Danish Embassy in Hanoi in coordination with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) has held a workshop on art funding in Hanoi.

In his opening speech on April 23, Danish Ambassador Peter Lysholt Hansen said this is an opportunity for experts from both countries to share their experiences and discuss the best ways of raising capital to develop the arts in Vietnam.

He expressed hope that the workshop will come up with suggestions for policies and mechanisms needed to support Vietnam’s cultural and artistic development.

The two-day workshop is part of activities being carried out under a five-year project entitled “Dialogue between Cultural Policymakers and Cultural Thinkers” funded by the Danish government.
