The topic focused on the role of culture in the current situation.

Regarding the issue of culture and arts, Dr. Le Doan Hop said that this is an extremely sensitive field, and those working in this field are people with extensive knowledge in many fields. Therefore, he said that if this force can be united, it will contribute decisively to the overall success in socio-economic development.

Because culture is the core value, the fundamental value and the original value of human beings; it is the catalyst, the glue that binds people together, with family, clan and homeland. Culture is also the driving force, the goal and the brand of people. In the current context, educated people often have culture, but there are also many educated people who do not necessarily have culture. And if there is education but no culture, there will be many potential bad risks. Therefore, the most core values ​​of culture need to be taken care of.

Dr. Le Doan Hop concluded that the most core value of Vietnamese culture is family culture. Because the family is the basic economic, cultural, and security unit. Improving family culture will determine the overall development of society.

In addition, it is necessary to promote the building of a culture of behavior in the treatment of comrades, colleagues, superiors and subordinates that must be honored. To do so, superiors must be people with superior abilities and have the ability to synthesize forces. Because otherwise, it will cause disunity in the collective, subordinates who do not respect superiors are failures. Therefore, choosing a leader is extremely important, must be based on the principles of centralization, democracy and all benefits must be fair.

Dr. Le Doan Hop suggested that those who work in propaganda should emphasize research to gain a deep and broad understanding of all aspects of cultural issues. This will help improve the ability and quality of propaganda work.

Regarding the topic of innovation in thinking, Dr. Le Doan Hop emphasized that innovation in thinking requires innovation in awareness. And affirmed that awareness is the key to action. To do so, propaganda officers in particular and the whole society in general must respect objective reality; must be confident in themselves, not afraid of failure and not dare to act; avoid the mindset of self-justification for one's shortcomings; the mindset of self-satisfaction; "lulling oneself to sleep" before a few achievements...

Also at this training session, delegates shared their experiences in propaganda work at the grassroots level, thereby improving their understanding and better completing their assigned tasks.
