The evening featured a captivating performance of many unique acts such as singing, folk dancing, shadow puppetry, modern dance, and film screenings. Alongside the artistic performances, there were interactive sessions with the audience and crossword puzzles and riddles to introduce everyone to the vibrant and diverse French culture.

A highlight of the entire program was the shadow puppet show choreographed by students from class C4K43. The performance depicted a family who lost a loved one in the November 13th terrorist attacks in Paris, with the father shielding his young child from bullets.

The small family seemed on the verge of breaking apart after losing their breadwinner, but thanks to the love and support of everyone, the mother and daughter were able to stand up again.

Beyond simply sending a message of love and kinship, the students also demonstrated solidarity with the people of France and expressed their hatred of terrorism.

Present at the event, Yann Philippe, a Frenchman, considered it a highly topical and politically relevant performance, and expressed his gratitude for the affection the students showed for their country, France.

Considered highly impressive, the International Francophone Day organized by the French class C4K43 of Phan Boi Chau High School concluded with many memorable moments for both organizers and attendees.
