Vietnam to be subject of CWA Study Weekend
January 31, 2005
More than 200 members of the Country Women’s Association (CWA), representing branches throughout NSW, will travel to Armidale next week for a weekend of lectures, discussions and cultural events focusing on Vietnam.
This will be the 35th Annual CWA Weekend Country of Study School at the University of New England. Running from Friday 11 to Sunday 13 February, and hosted by UNE’s Earle Page College, the Study School will include presentations on Vietnamese subjects by UNE academics and researchers as well as by visiting lecturers.
Mr Tran Van Hinh, Minister Counsellor at the Vietnamese Embassy in Canberra, will be a guest at a formal dinner at Earle Page College on the Friday evening, when he will present an “Introduction to Vietnam”. Also during the dinner, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ingrid Moses, will welcome the delegates and guests to UNE, and the Mayor, Councillor Brian Chetwynd, will welcome them to Armidale.
Ms Sharon Gallen, Manager of the UNE Conference Company, said the Conference Company organised this annual event in the context of the strong and long-standing relationship between the University and the CWA. “This year we’ve created an opportunity for the participants to gain a real insight into Vietnamese society, history and culture,” Ms Gallen said. The lectures themselves, beginning with an “Overview of Vietnam” by the Vietnamese Embassy’s First Secretary, Mr Nguyen Huy Phuong, will deal with politics, education, language, cultural diversity, health, and other aspects of Vietnamese life.
The program will include an ecumenical church service at St Mark’s Chapel, UNE, on the Sunday morning and, on the Saturday evening, a performance of traditional Vietnamese music and dance presented, in the UNE Arts Theatre, by the Hoa Dang Group.
