and a documentary photo are on display at an exhibition which opened at
the Gustave Courbet Primary School in Romainville city, 15 km
east of Paris , on Nov. 29.
The showcased photos
depict the ancient Hanoi capital; Hanoi and the hallmarks of the
colonist period; the city in war; and Hanoi and its young
generations.
The exhibition uses the logo of Khue
Van Pavilion by Pham Ngoc Tuan, who took part in a contest to create
logos marking the 1,000 th anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi.
Becta, a history teacher at the Gustave Courbet Primary School
and coordinator of the cooperation project between his school and the
Tran Phu School in Hai Phong city, said this was a good chance for
him to introduce the image of Hanoi-Vietnam to his colleagues and
students as well as those who want to visit Vietnam .
According to the Gustave Courbet school’s rector, Olivier Catayee, the
exhibition, is part of a partnership cooperation programme on education
between Vietnam and France with the first project linking the
Gustave Courbet Primary School and the Tran Phu School for
Gifted Students in April 2010.
It is also the focus
of a UNESCO master plan on culture between Vietnam and France ,
which aims to strengthen cultural exchanges and discover heritages of
the two countries.
Under the project, in April 2011,
24 students of the French school will come to Vietnam to exchange
with their peers at the Tran Phu School and two months later, 25
students of the Hai Phong-based school will leave for France to meet
Gustave Courbet friends./.
