Towards the grass roots
Over the recent years, Khanh Hoa Province's cultural agencies such as provincial library, provincial Traditional Art Theater, Hai Dang Song and Dance Troupe, provincial Culture - Cinema Center have often brought their cultural and art shows to remote, border, island areas, which has partly helped to enrich the spiritual life of people in these areas.

Every year, the provincial Culture - Cinema Center holds more than 90 mobile propaganda sessions in localities over the province and more than 580 mobile movie screenings in remote and island areas; organizes many art shows under different themes in remote, border and island areas. Hai Dang Song and Dance Troupe holds around ten shows per year for the people living in mountainous areas across the province. The provincial Traditional Art Theater holds 80 to 100 night shows per year to serve people in different localities in the province. The provincial library has built grass roots book reading stations and circulates books to grass roots places more than 173,000 times per year.
The provincial Culture - Cinema Center has also incorporated propaganda and dissemination of law, preventing and fighting against social evils, preserving the cultural beauty of ethnic groups, protecting the environment, etc. into the cultural shows and mobile movie screenings. In recent years, music festivals and shows such as Public Art Festival, music show about soldiers, and Vietnamese Ethnic Groups’ Culture Day have been organized alternately in districts, towns and cities in the province. As said by Tran Duc Ha, head of Hai Dang Song and Dance Troupe, creating music programs to serve people in the mountainous areas is a major activity of the troupe. These programs often include performances with artistic quality and content suitable to the entertainment needs of local people.
Continue reaching people in remote areas
In order to implement the project of cultural and art activities for people in remote, border, and island areas and ethnic minorities in the period 2021 - 2030, Khanh Hoa Provincial Department of Culture and Sports will organize art activities, especially in the two districts of Khanh Son and Khanh Vinh. Priority will be given to unique traditional cultures that are in danger of being lost or fading into oblivion. The department will also hold cultural and art festivals and contests at provincial level; help Khanh Son and Khanh Vinh districts to hold local festivals; improve the libraries in Truong Sa (Spratly) Island District and the two districts in mountainous areas.
The remote, isolated and island areas and areas with a large number of ethnic minorities will be classified and be high on the list of priorities for cultural and art activities. The cultural movement in these areas will also be promoted. The province will support the communes with many ethnic minorities to build bookcases and public libraries at public places, border posts, and schools. By 2025, the province strives to form traditional art clubs in 50% hamlets of ethnic minority areas.
The implementation of cultural and art activities will also contribute to strengthen the block of great national unity, promoting the ownership role of people in preserving traditional cultural values. From 2021, Khanh Hoa will maintain and gradually increase the number of cultural and art activities held in the grass roots, according to Le Van Hoa, deputy director of Khanh Hoa Provincial Department of Culture and Sports.
