The event also welcomed the enthusiastic participation of DAV students across year levels.

More than just a stage for competition, the Gala served as a meaningful occasion that connected generations of DAV students while inspiring patriotism, cultural pride, and a commitment to preserving Vietnam’s heritage. The event highlighted the confidence, talent, and global outlook of DAV students-affirming the role of young people in promoting Vietnam’s values to international friends.
