Opening of Course on Digital Transformation Knowledge in the Cultural Sector and the Course on Family Culture Knowledge 2024
On the morning of November 11, 2024, at the Grand Hall of the National Academy of Public Administration, the National Academy of Public Administration, in collaboration with the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports, officially launched the Course on Digital Transformation Knowledge in the Cultural Sector and the Course on Family Culture Knowledge 2024.

Mr. Do Dinh Hong, Director of the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports, delivers remarks at the opening ceremony.
In his opening remarks, Mr. Do Dinh Hong, Director of the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports, emphasized: President Ho Chi Minh once affirmed, “Cadres are the root of all work”; “The success or failure of every task depends on the quality of the cadres.” To ignite and promote the cultural values and human potential of the capital city, one of the foremost priorities must be enhancing the quality of Hanoi’s cultural workforce. The documents of the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party highlight: “Training and developing leaders, managers, policymakers, and advisors in the fields of culture and arts, particularly key officials, who possess a profound understanding of culture, along with integrity, capability, and professional expertise to meet the demands of their duties.” Similarly, the resolutions of the 17th Congress of the Hanoi Municipal Party Committee underscore: “Developing human resources, especially high-quality personnel in social management, economic governance, and the culture and tourism sectors,” as a core goal and priority task in the capital’s development process. Clearly, improving the quality of human resources in the cultural sector is a critical task for the upcoming period, aiming to enhance the effectiveness of state management and meet the strategic, focused requirements of advancing Hanoi’s cultural endeavors in the near future.
Mr. Do Dinh Hong urged the participants to focus on completing the course with excellence, strictly adhere to the class rules and regulations, and apply the acquired knowledge effectively to fulfill their assigned duties, particularly in the areas of digital transformation and family culture initiatives.
