Xin Cháo from Thanh Hoa!
The university's first summer school in Vietnam: Ten female students flew to Thanh Hoa University.
From March 19 to March 27, 2019, the university’s first summer school, funded by the DAAD, took place in Thanh Hoa, Vietnam. The project was initiated and carried out by the degree programmes in Tourism Management and International Tourism Management in the Faculty of Managerial and Cultural Studies, with the goal of further internationalizing teaching.
On Tuesday, we set out on our long journey to Thanh Hoa, Vietnam. For eight days, our group—consisting of ten female students from the Bachelor and Master degree programmes in Tourism Management—will be exploring Vietnam. From the HIN UND WEG blog: HSZG’s First Summer School in Vietnam

These activities are part of a comprehensive strategy developed in 2017–2018 by project staff member Eva Pretzsch.
Ranging from a fact-finding mission to the organization of two summer schools, this strategy pursues the long-term goal of a five-year cooperation agreement between the two universities (Hong Duc University and HSZG). Accompanied by ten female students from both degree programs—who had successfully passed the application process—Ms. Langschwager, Prof. Pflicke, and Ms. Pretzsch traveled to Thanh Hoa University to work with the Vietnamese students on the topic of “Community-Based Tourism,” using the destination of Sapa as a case study.
The following summary video by our Vietnamese colleague, Mr. Hoang, demonstrates just how successful the project was.
Did you know that Vietnamese people honor their deceased relatives by sending them offerings such as vodka, beer, cola, and candy to the afterlife via incense sticks? We were certainly surprised by this. Our tour ended at the oldest building in the village. It’s about 200 years old and is still owned by the same family, now in its 18th generation.

The summer school will continue in Görlitz in October. We will then welcome our Vietnamese colleagues and students to continue our research on the above-mentioned topic together.
We are very much looking forward to this and hope that the summer school in Görlitz in the fall will be interdisciplinary and cross-faculty / trans-faculty!
