Festival of Vietnamese Youth and Students in Europe

Mirabilia Art Wonders has coordinated the organisation of the 2026 edition of the Festival of Vietnamese Youth and Students in Europe, an annual event held under the High Patronage of the Vietnamese Embassy in Italy, which highlights the central role of young people in the processes of innovation, digital transition and internationalisation. The initiative is in line with the guidelines of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW of the Vietnamese Politburo, which focuses on developing young people’s human capital.

Hosted annually on a rotating basis by a member country, and now in its twelfth edition, the event came to Italy for the first time and took place over three days, from 28 to 30 August 2026, at the prestigious 16th-century campus of Link Campus University in Rome. A centre of learning for an initiative where culture, education and youthful energy come together to stimulate scientific debate, promote innovation and strengthen the spirit of integration.

The event, entitled “Nexus Camp – All Roads Lead to Rome”, was attended by Vietnamese students, researchers and young professionals from across Europe, as well as guests of honour including diplomats, executives and academics.

The event, organised by the Association of Vietnamese Students in Italy (ASVI) in collaboration with Mirabilia Art Wonders, featured a wide range of activities, including an opening ceremony showcasing singers, artists and performers, a scientific and technological symposium, team-building and networking activities, and a walking tour to discover Rome’s historical wonders.

The highlight of the symposium was the Pitch Competition: the participating students, divided into teams, analysed successful European development models in the sectors of urban mobility, infrastructure, climate resilience, the environment and smart cities; through teamwork, the analysis of case studies and presentations in English, they honed their critical thinking, research skills, public speaking and ability to operate in international contexts.
