Vietnamese youths promote homeland
via “non la” album at SSEAYP 2016
A photo featuring ‘non
la’ taken by the Vietnamese delegates to the 43rd Ship for Southeast Asian
and Japanese Youth Program (SSEAYP)
Vietnamese youth delegates
participating in the upcoming 43rdShip for Southeast Asian and
Japanese Youth Program (SSEAYP) have promoted their home country via an
impressive series of photos of the “non la,” or conical leaf hat.
Vietnamese
delegates at the event have presented their home country to their foreign
peers via a photo album featuring the ‘non la’, or conical leaf hat - a
cultural symbol of Vietnam.
The
photos have been taken across three distinct parts of the country in the hope
of depicting Vietnamese lifestyle as a whole, including its cultural norms .
“We
have tried to interpret the dignity of non la, a simple but symbolic
headwear, to produce an emotional response from viewers, especially
international delegates, so that they can visualize Vietnamese culture and
that of Vietnamese youths in particular,” Hoang Bao, a Vietnamese delegate of
SSEAYP 2016, said.
“Most
of the foreign delegates are knowledgeable of our history and famous
destinations, but they lack opportunities to find out how we really [the
Vietnamese] live.”
“The
objective of the album is to help them understand to some degree,” Bao
explained.
The
idea came from one Vietnamese delegate currently studying in South Korea,
after seeing foreigners proudly taking the ‘non la’ back home as a souvenir
from Vietnam.
“We
are delighted to see so many Vietnamese and foreign visitors show interest in
the concept,” another delegate said.
“Some
have even borrowed the hats to immediately share on social media.”
Established
in 1974, SSEAYP is a program jointly run by the Japanese government and other
Southeast Asian countries to foster friendship and greater understanding
amongst youth from participating nations.
Vietnam
first joined the program in 1995.
The
ship is scheduled to anchor in Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, and
Vietnam between October 25 to December 15.
