About The Flame

Background

The Flame is the student newspaper of the United Nations International School of Hanoi. Our publication was started in 2012 as a student-led co-curricular activity for high school. After operating for six years as an online-only newspaper, we published our first print edition in June of 2018. We will continue to regularly publish student-produced writing and multimedia content in print and online formats.
