The workshop creates a chance for museums, schools and tourism agencies to exchange and share experiences and ideas to boost up experiencing education programs in Vietnamese museums. In the future, VN museums will be a destination for many visitors, in particular, for children to play, learn and discover cultural and historical values. Anyway, it helps to strengthen co-operation and ties between museums, schools and tourism agencies.
