The 12th event featured a host of performances, blending contemporary and traditional culture and attaching to topical issues that drew the attention of the youth.

At the beginning of the show, all participants held a minute’s silence to commemorate victims of typhoon Haiyan, which swept through the Philippines and Vietnam in early November.

The event coincides with the celebration of the 40th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Vietnam and the UK.

The proceeds will be donated to charity organisations in Vietnam and help the victims of Agent Orange and natural disasters, and disadvantaged children. 

The VNLSE show also paid special attention to raise donation for the fund Com Co Thit (Rice with meet), hoping to help improve the quality of meals for needy children in the remote areas in the homeland.
