What is the motivation and vision for this Festival? This interview with Prof. Julia Gaimster, Dean of School of Communication &amp; Design, Dean of School of Science and Technology will bring you some inspirational information.\\n\\nYou can also watch the video interview {here}\\n\\nWhat can we expect from VFCD 2020? What\u2019s new about this year\u2019s edition, compared to last year\u2019s? \\n\\nThis year we are expanding the scope of the Festival to include a wider range of creative activities including performance and music. We are also making it a national festival focusing on three major cities \u2013 Hanoi Hue and HCMC. \\nThe majority of the festival will be online enabling a wider audience to participate and for contributions from other countries such as Australia \\n \\nHow would you describe VFCD to someone who has never heard of it? \\n\\nThe festival is a \u201ccoming together\u201d of people who are interested in creativity and culture in Vietnam- both traditional and contemporary \u2013 it is a celebration of Vietnames creativity \u2013 an opportunity to network \u2013 to discover new knowledge and skills and to debate the future of creativity in Vietnam \\n \\nWhat does the concept of \u2018creativity and design\u2019 mean to you and VFCD in general?\\n\\nCreativity and design are connected but have a different emphasis. Creativity is needed in all aspects of our daily lives \u2013 in technology and business as well as the arts. Design in this context refers to consideration of the aesthetic, form and function of the objects that we use and surround ourselves with. The festival is a celebration of considered design where issues such as tradition, innovation and sustainability are examined as part of the design process. \\n\\nWhy do you think VFCD is important for Vietnam?\\n\\nThe creative and cultural industries have a key part to play in the economic and social development of Vietnam \u2013 in order to compete on the world stage it needs to nurture and showcase its talent and to provide opportunities for local and global recognition of the talent that exists here. Individuals find it hard to make an impact and to get their work recognized \u2013 a major national festival it\u2019s a great way of creating impact and promoting the country as a whole. In normal times festivals attract tourists and businesses and play an important part in building the cultural identity of a country. We hope that the festival will help to move the global perception of made in Vietnam to created \u2013 innovated and designed in Vietnam.\/\\n \\nThrough what perspectives and for what reasons did RMIT initiate a festival for\\n\u2018creativity\/media &amp; design\u2019?\\n\\nRMIT has had an annual showcase of our student work for the last 5 years but it was contained within our campuses- we wanted to get more engaged with the local community and to showcase not just the talent of our students but also to provide a platform for local creatives and cultural organisations . We decided to launch the festival in Hanoi for two reasons \u2013 the first being that we had just opened our first design degree in Hanoi which we wanted to celebrate and the second was because Hanoi was bidding to become a creative city of design in the UNEsco creative cities network \u2013 so it was a very timely initiative.\\n\\nThank you very much for your sharing.&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:4993,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;10&quot;:0,&quot;11&quot;:4,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;15&quot;:&quot;Arial&quot;}\" data-sheets-textstyleruns=\"\uee10\uee10\uee10\uee10\uee10\uee10\uee10\uee10\uee10\uee10\uee10\uee10\"><em>What can we expect from VFCD 2020?
