Although they are the third largest migrant community with a long tradition of immigration into Czech Republic, the knowledge amongst most of the population concerning Vietnam and people from Vietnam is reportedly very low. On the other hand the Vietnamese community itself is often considered to be very closed and separated.
Klub Hanoi challenges this unsatisfying situation mainly through an internet project; there exists an online-journal which provides a variety of information about Vietnamese culture and other topics for experts and the general public. Furthermore, it also serves as a forum or portal where (interested) people can become involved in intercultural discourse. Besides the internet activities, Klub Hanoi initiates additional different one-off projects such as exhibitions and movie nights.
