Thua Thien-Hue to host international conference on conical hats

Participants at the event will discuss the current situation and various solutions for the sustainable development of conical hats in the locality.

The event will therefore provide a chance for craftsmen to meet and exchange information about the craft of conical hat making.

Advertising Hue conical hats and seeking measures aimed at improving vocational training for local practitioners are set to be hot topics during the conference.

The international conference is jointly organised by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF) Vietnam and the Hue Conical Hat Association, and is expected to attract plenty of domestic and foreign intellectuals and craftsmen.

The craft of conical hat making has been practiced in Thua Thien-Hue for centuries. It is still well preserved today in Tay Ho village of Phu Ho commune, My Lam village of Phu My commune, and the villages of Phu Cam, Phuoc Vinh, Doc So, Trieu Tay, and Huong So in Hue.

Craftsmen residing in the village sell millions of conical hats to the market each year, not only meeting the needs of local people, but also providing an attractive souvenir for visitors to the province.

Along with the typical three-layer conical hats made from palm leaves, local artisans use leaves from the lotus and bamboo as materials to produce conical hats.

Buzz, Bump, Goal! Drone Football Takes Center Stage at CES

Five red drones are competing against five blue drones in a thrilling drone soccer match. Controlling the drones from outside the playing field ensures safety for all. The game lasts for three action-packed minutes, with the drones protected by globe-like shields, zooming around, colliding with each other, and bouncing off the green field. Their mission: to score goals by maneuvering a drone through the opposing team’s “donut,” a hoop suspended 3.5 meters in the air that lights up when a goal is achieved. Sean Greenhalgh, a professional drone soccer player and former Trader Joe’s employee, reveals that he discovered this emerging sport during a drone photography course about a year ago. Now, he serves as the captain and main striker for Team USA, alongside teaching children aged four and older the sport.
