The poetry and music evening was organized to show gratitude to this exemplary writer, who holds a special place in modern Vietnamese poetry. At the same time, our students are also able to refine their teamwork, interactive, planning and implementation skills, employing practical project-based learning models.
The artists recited many famous poems, including Last Autumn Love Poem, Waves, The Boat and the Sea, Singing Alone and Speaking with You, full of emotion. The DTU student contingent performed songs with lyrics based on Xuan Quynh’s poems as well as short, reenacted theatrical vignettes and clips.
