The year 2020 marks the 10th Science Film Festival to be held in Vietnam. In partnership with long term partner THD (social enterprise THD Education Solution Ltd) and accompanied by the Vietnamese Institute for Educational Sciences (VNIES), the festival will tour to schools in major cities and provinces of Vietnam.
In cooperation with the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), this year's topic aims at a very broad spectrum in the area of sustainability. 17 Sustainable Development Goals provide an overview of measures that we can take to contribute to a world of peace and prosperity.

For the 10th anniversary the Goethe-Institut is continuing its collaboration with the General Library of Science in Ho Chi Minh City. The library car “Library on wheels” of the library carries the festival to provinces all over Vietnam.
With over 1 million participants, the science film festival is one of the largest of its kind. In Vietnam, the concept has proven to be very successful. The students receive a lot of exciting scientific knowledge through the films and can put them into practice through the hands-on activities after the films.
Not only pupils and students, but also parents and teachers who are particularly interested in STEM, should benefit from our festival. The parallel project SEADSTEM offers an exchange forum for this. The SEADSTEM platform not only offers films, but also detailed descriptions of experiments and various resources for teaching materials. In close consultation with the SEAMEO Regional Center for Mint Education (SEAMEO STEM-ED) and Klett-Mint, the Goethe-Institut ensures that all materials meet the quality standard.
