What is Edutainment? The origins of Edutainment

Edutainment is defined as a combination of education and entertainment, encompassing the use of entertainment methods to deliver educational content in an engaging and enjoyable way. This approach aims to create an environment where learning becomes a friendly experience, rather than a tedious one like traditional methods.

For a very long time, this method has been applied but has not been given a name by humanity, a prime example being learning through play, which existed before language was invented. In 1950, the Walt Disney Company began producing educational content for children using animation to convey lessons about science, history, and culture. By 1970, the term "Edutainment" was officially coined and began to be explored and used in learning by numerous researchers and educators.

Some of the world's most popular edutainment programs.

Numberblocks is a prime example of applying the Edutainment method, creating a series of animated programs on the topic of mathematics education for young children. Produced by Blue-Zoo and broadcast on BBC's CBeebies, the episodes focus on introducing basic arithmetic concepts to young children through engaging and interactive activities. Numberblocks' success in creating an educational and entertaining program for children has earned it numerous international awards, despite a market dominated by other purely entertainment programs.

In Vietnam, the game show "Road to Olympia" has become a resounding case study of success in applying the Edutainment method. The television game show about knowledge for high school students first aired on March 21, 1999, on VTV3. After 25 years, it is VTV's longest-running game show. The program strongly combines educational and entertainment elements, cleverly integrating knowledge from different grade levels through each round, creating an engaging intellectual playground not only for the contestants but also for the viewers.

When history is brought "back to life" by Edutainment.

In the field of culture and history, Edutainment is also opening new doors in Vietnam. No longer just dry pages of books, the heroic stories of the nation are brought to life through unique artistic programs. One prime example is the event "“The River Tells Stories”"This was featured in the Ho Chi Minh City River Festival 2023, organized by Newday Media. Combining performing arts with modern stage technology, the program transported the audience back to the historical flow of Saigon from its beginnings to the modern era.".

Newday Media has affirmed its pioneering role by combining educational and entertainment elements to vividly recreate history, thereby attracting the attention not only of domestic audiences but also international tourists. This not only promotes tourism but also contributes to the preservation and dissemination of Vietnamese cultural values.

“"The River Tells Stories" is a vivid historical film about 300 years of Saigon - Gia Dinh - Ho Chi Minh City.

In 2024, Edutainment once again continued its "explosion" in the program. The River Tells Stories Season 2 – “The Legendary Train Journey” This event is part of the 2nd Ho Chi Minh City River Festival 2024. This time, the audience will "witness" the great historical chapters retold in the most authentic and visual way about the ships that are closely linked to the destiny of the Vietnamese nation, so that every citizen feels a surge of pride and further cherishes the extraordinary efforts of their ancestors.

Legendary trains that changed the destiny of the nation.

The harmonious combination of stage technology, art, and historical and cultural elements affirms Newday Media's pioneering role in the edu-tainment trend (combining education and entertainment), contributing to the development of the cultural industry in Vietnam, thereby attracting the attention of domestic and international tourists, and bringing practical value to Ho Chi Minh City.

Why should businesses use Edutainment in their management and business operations?

Recreational education has been proven to be extremely effective in learning and skill development. According to a 2022 LinkedIn Learning study, 921 employees considered recreational education to be an effective learning method.

Similarly, the University of California conducted a study in 2020 and found that edutainment also helps reduce work stress by up to 18%. Large corporations and businesses like Google frequently apply entertainment-based education, combining work-related knowledge with games or videos to help employees enhance their expertise in a fun and effective way.

Thanks to its ability to simplify and make complex and sometimes "boring" information more engaging, edutainment is widely known as an attractive training and education method that increases employees' interest in acquiring knowledge.

As our society progresses and educational needs evolve, exploring and leveraging innovative strategies like recreational education is essential to engaging and motivating students both inside and outside the classroom. The way we learn is changing, and recreational education opens the door to more effective, dynamic, and enjoyable learning!
