The Vietnam Summer Camp 2022, an annual event organised by the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese (SCOV) under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for outstanding overseas Vietnamese (OV) youths around the world, kicked off in Vinh city, central Nghe An province, on July 22.
This year’s event brought together 107 OV youngsters from 25 countries and territories worldwide who have excelled in academic performance, sports and arts, and are highly dedicated to community activities.
In his opening remarks, Mai Phan Dung, SCOV Deputy Chairman, said through the camp, young overseas Vietnamese will gain a better understanding of their fatherland’s history and cultural identities as well as the country’s renewal process and policies for Vietnamese expatriates.
He expected the participants to become cultural and tourism ambassadors who play a part in internationally promoting Vietnam as a peaceful country with friendly people.
The 16-day summer camp will take the young expats through nine cities and provinces across the country where they will visit numerous popular historic relics and natural attractions.
A host of other activities will also be held for them, including exploring Vietnam’s sovereignty over its seas and islands, a seminar on demand for the Vietnamese workforce overseas, a story-telling contest in Vietnamese, and an event to honour youngsters with outstanding academic performances and contributions to community works.
On July 23, the participants will visit Emperor Quang Trung’s Temple and take part in an environment protection event on Cua Lo Beach./.

This activities will help overseas Vietnamese youths gain better understanding about their root and themselves
each young Vietnamese living abroad will act as an “Ambassador” helping boost Vietnam’s cooperation with foreign individuals and organisations and popularise Vietnam’s good values in their host country.
the organisation of the programme shows the Party and State's attention to expatriates, and meets the aspirations of the young generation who want to learn about the homeland’s historical, political, socio-cultural issues and natural landscapes, and exchange with domestic young people and students.
This is also an opportunity to educate and cultivate the love of the homeland and the Vietnamese patriotic tradition in the young OVs
Since 2004, the Vietnam Summer Camp has attracted the participation of nearly 2,000 young Vietnamese people from over 30 countries and territories
This is a chance for young OVs to experience life in Vietnam and explore the cultural tradition and history of their Fatherland, and meet and exchange with their peers in the country

OVs are an inseparable part of the country,
the summer camp is a meaningful activity to connect OV students and their homeland as well as their fellow students in the localities
