To raise awareness and pride among the people of Nghe An province, and to instill a sense of responsibility in all generations, especially the younger generation, in preserving, practicing, and transmitting the folk songs of Nghe Tinh.
Step by step, we aim to promote the value of Nghe Tinh folk songs (Vi and Giam) as a distinctive cultural product for cultural and artistic exchange, thereby enhancing interaction between communities, developing tourism, and contributing to the economic, cultural, and social development of Nghe An province.
