Workshop "Promoting the role of the Vietnam Catholic Solidarity Committee in the new situation"

The Vietnam Catholic Solidarity Committee was established in 1983, is a social organization of Vietnamese Catholics who "fear God - love the country", and is a member of the Vietnam Fatherland Front.

The birth and development of the Vietnam Catholic Solidarity Committee is an inevitability of political and social life in our country; it demonstrates the motto of "Good religion, good life" of people with religions and beliefs in general, and of Catholics in particular, in the Vietnamese ethnic community.

However, in reality, the Vietnam Catholic Solidarity Committee still faces many difficulties and obstacles in organizational development and in its activities, which researchers, scientists, state managers, and religious practitioners need to reach a consensus on, as a basis for proposing solutions to solve the above problems. The presentations at the Workshop aim to propose solutions for the Vietnam Catholic Solidarity Committee to increasingly promote its role and position in the task of building a close relationship between religion and life, contributing to the cultivation of the great national unity bloc.

Participating in the workshop, scientists from the Department of Religious Studies, University of Social Sciences and Humanities were in charge of conducting a sociological investigation on the practice of social participation in social work of the Vietnam Catholic Solidarity Committee as data to compare with the issues discussed at the workshop. At the same time, experts in Religious Studies of the University participated in editing the professional content of the papers, selecting and proposing topics for discussion at the workshop.
