Abstract

The article examines how education supports the preservation and promotion of Vietnam’s intangible cultural heritage amid globalization and digital transformation. Drawing on UNESCO’s framework and recent cultural education research, the study surveyed 151 participants—including lawmakers, cultural officials, lecturers, and students—and conducted 13 semi-structured interviews to capture diverse viewpoints. Findings indicate that education not only conveys heritage knowledge but also builds community awareness, fosters creativity, and helps cultural values adapt to new social contexts. Through political theory courses, cultural subjects, experiential learning, and digital initiatives, heritage becomes integrated into identity and personality formation. The article offers a theoretical framework for understanding education’s role in heritage preservation and practical recommendations for incorporating heritage into curricula and policies. It concludes that combining formal, non-formal, and community education effectively strengthens heritage preservation in Vietnam’s context of international integration.
