Speaking at the workshop, Associate Professor Dr. Pham Van Duong - Deputy Director of the Institute of Cultural Studies, Editor-in-Chief of the Vietnam Cultural Studies Journal - affirmed that when it comes to workers' culture, in addition to important aspects such as employment and income, workers' cultural and spiritual life is also an important aspect to improve the quality of life for workers.
Therefore, in building workers' culture, it implies the idea of creating aspects of workers' cultural life such as spiritual culture with specific activities, in which workers participate, receive the general rules of the enterprise, from there, interact, practice and create the workers' culture and the enterprise's culture.
These activities include: Labor and production culture, Communication and behavior culture, Entertainment culture, Family and community culture. These are both important cultural elements covering the lives of workers and important factors that make up the position and quality of life of Vietnamese workers today.
