From March 25 to 30, 2025, Ha Long University sent lecturers to participate in the training program under the project Vietnam Music Universities Spurring (VIETMUS), held at the Vietnam National University of Arts Education (Hanoi). The program was attended by the VIETMUS Project Coordination Board, along with representatives from partner universities in Vietnam and Europe, including the Palermo Conservatory (Italy), Erasmushogeschool Brussel (Belgium), and Yasar University (Turkey).

The training focused on key topics such as establishing on-site music practice laboratories, applying digital tools in music teaching and remote performance, and organizing a digital music innovation competition. These activities are part of Work Package 4 and 5 of the VIETMUS project, aiming to enhance the professional capacity of university lecturers and promote modern teaching methods for music students in Vietnam. The project provides valuable opportunities for both lecturers and students to access contemporary performance skills, develop personal creativity, and explore international education and collaboration prospects in the field of arts.

Through this project, universities have the opportunity to reform training programs, expand international partnerships, and contribute to enhancing the quality of human resources in the field of culture and the arts.
