There needs to be a specific policy for mobile information and art teams.

(Baonghean) -Overcoming all difficulties, hardships, and lack of material and equipment for work, the mobile information and art teams (VNTTLĐ) have truly brought joy and attractive spiritual "food" to people in rural, mountainous and remote areas.

Mr. Tran Hung Minh - Captain of the Labor Information and Arts Team, Nam Dan District Cultural Center, said: "In the past time, the Center's Labor Information and Arts Team has directly served the people in the whole district in nearly 40 sessions with many different forms: singing and dancing, adapting folk songs, singing Vi Phuong Vai through skits to propagate the policies and guidelines of the State and the Party to the people in the form of dramatization. Although the team has only 6 members, they still ensure everything from the script to the musical instruments and direction. Although they have been working in the profession for more than ten years, every time they perform for the people of the communes, all the team members feel nervous and emotional, as if they were standing on stage for the first time. In addition to the district's Labor Information and Arts Team, up to now, in 24 communes and towns of Nam Dan, there are commune-level mass art teams (operating seasonally). This is the core force participating in propagating the policies, guidelines and policies of the Party. and the State.

Inheriting and promoting the effectiveness of the wartime mobile information art teams, currently 20 districts, cities and towns in our province have mobile information art teams under the Cultural and Information Centers of the districts, cities and towns. And almost 100% of communes, wards and towns have also formed mass art teams and are operating quite vigorously. The mobile information art teams have made an important contribution to the work of serving the propaganda of political tasks, policies and guidelines of the Party and State, improving the spiritual life of the people, especially the people in mountainous districts and remote areas. Members selected for the mobile information art team must ensure the following factors: enthusiasm, health and versatility in all genres. That means they are both actors and loudspeakers, banner and slogan painters...

Through folk songs and self-written plays, people are aware of the dangers of drugs, HIV/AIDS, and understand family planning/reproductive health care... And through that, people understand the concern of all levels and sectors for the people in the highlands, who still face many difficulties. The joy of the villagers is the motivation for the mobile information and art teams to firmly stick with their profession.

The effectiveness is clear but there are still many difficulties. The Party and the State have not had any specific policies for the information art teams, which are "self-generated and self-sustaining" by the district cultural centers, lacking in facilities, operating equipment such as lighting, loudspeakers, service vehicles, costumes and especially funding to develop quality scripts, with very low compensation levels... The art core in the districts and communes is very abundant and rich, but sadly we do not have policies to encourage them in a timely manner. Although every year the provincial Cultural and Sports Center organizes competitions and performances of various types (short plays, comedy plays, information plays...) to encourage, motivate, exchange and learn among mobile information art teams in the whole province, building a standard information art model to increasingly improve the quality and effectiveness of the VNTTLĐ teams, it still seems like "a drop in the ocean".
