02 Dec 2008
More than 100 hundred students and teachers attended the Neso Vietnam Quiz, dance competition and presentation in Hanoi, 15 November this year. The presentation introduced the Netherlands and its 1376 English taught courses.
Hanoi Amsterdam high school and the Netherlands have a special relationship. Not only does the school carry the Dutch capital’s name, but it was also established with the help of the Netherlands in 1985. The day of the event was filled with activities that emphasized the Netherlands as a high quality study destination for English courses. The vice principle of Hanoi Amsterdam high school, Ms Le Thi Oanh, opened the event expressing hope that this day would further strengthen the bonds between the two countries and that in the future further cooperation might ensue. She hopes to find a high school in Amsterdam to develop such bonds. Director of Neso Vietnam gave a speech in Vietnamese and English to show the students that most people in the Netherlands learn several languages and to show how people in the Netherlands speak English.

Two groups also competed with each other in a Dutch clog dance and performed plays. Both groups were judged by Dutch nationals including a Nuffic representative, Mr. Koen Yap.
