On the afternoon of January 22, 2026, at Dong Nai University, the Cultural Performance Festival of Emulation Cluster No.12, themed “Celebrating the Party, Celebrating Spring, and Celebrating the Nation’s Rise in a New Era”, officially concluded in a vibrant and heartwarming atmosphere, leaving lasting impressions on all participating institutions.

The festival served as a meaningful cultural activity, creating opportunities for exchange, connection, and strengthening cooperation among institutions within the cluster. It also fostered a spirit of solidarity and healthy competition, inspiring pride, confidence, and dedication among collectives and individuals. At the same time, the event promoted positive values and demonstrated a shared commitment to contributing to the country’s development in this new era.

Representing Dong Nai Technology University (DNTU) at the event were Dr. Doan Manh Quynh – Vice Rector, and Mr. Le Phan Quang Huy, M.A. – Deputy Head of the Office of Student Affairs and Secretary of the Youth Union.

The festival featured 14 outstanding performances from universities and colleges within Emulation Cluster No.12. Each performance was carefully prepared, diverse in genre, rich in artistic value, and deeply rooted in national cultural identity. Beyond showcasing talent and creativity, the performances conveyed meaningful messages about patriotism, national pride, unity, and the aspiration to contribute to society.

At this year’s event, DNTU lecturers and staff presented a mashup performance of “Trong nguoi” and “Nguoi giao vien nhan dan.” The performance was thoughtfully designed in both content and presentation, harmoniously blending melody, lyrics, and emotion. It highlighted the image of dedicated educators who tirelessly contribute to nurturing knowledge, shaping character, and fostering sustainable values for society. Moreover, it reaffirmed the essential role of education in developing high-quality human resources, laying a solid foundation for the nation’s progress in an era of innovation, integration, and sustainable development.

Beyond being a competition, the festival was also an opportunity for DNTU faculty and staff to connect, share, and spread positive energy, enriching the university’s cultural and spiritual life. Through this event, DNTU was portrayed not only as an educational institution but also as a dynamic and united community actively engaged in collective activities.

Notably, the Fourth Overall Prize stands out as a particularly meaningful achievement. Beyond being a simple ranking, it represents recognition of DNTU’s comprehensive, well-rounded, and responsible participation across all competition categories. From events that required strength and endurance to those emphasizing coordination and teamwork, DNTU demonstrated a clear presence and consistent effort throughout. This achievement reflects a collective that is not defined by strength in just one area, but by balanced development across multiple dimensions.

Although the festival has come to an end, its echoes remain through applause, smiles, and a shared sense of pride among participants. These meaningful moments will continue to inspire the DNTU community to move forward together, contributing and spreading positive values as the nation advances confidently into a new era.
