dancing and singing folk songs, she said, adding that they also have chances to
attend exchanges focusing on brocade weaving as well as the role of traditional
national costumes.
Kieu said that the establishment
of the club is not only useful for women in the hamlet but also contributes to
preserving and promoting the nation's traditional culture.
Nguyen Thi Minh Huyen, Chairwoman of the Women's Union of Lac Thinh Commune,
said due to the negative effect of the market economy, some cultural features
of the Muong ethnic group have been lost, many young people do not know folk
songs and dances, how to play gongs, or wear traditional costumes properly.
To preserve and promote the national cultural identity, the commune Women's
Union has mobilised members to join the club. Club activities focus on
strengthening the cultural identity of the Muong ethnic group through costumes,
culture and art. The establishment and maintenance of club activities serve as
a cultural playground for its members and local residents, promoting the spirit
of solidarity, encouraging them to observe the guidelines of the Party,
policies and laws of the State, building a cultural family and residential
areas, and joining hands to turn Lac Thinh into a prosperous and civilised
homeland./.
