International Cultural Festival

What?

Imagine a fiesta in an exotic foreign land, with hordes of young people from all over the world and a carnival of parties, picnics and sightseeing trips, not to mention travelling to various venues in the host country. Along with this, a gala of performances and workshops of dance, music and drama of diverse cultures from around the world.

This is a typical international cultural festival for young people. A meeting point where hundreds of young talented individuals from around the world converge to, chiefly, intermingle and have fun and also to exhibit their country's unique culture and lifestyle.

Evolution!

The idea of an international cultural festival evolved out of the need to create young minds that transcend borders and prejudices thus making the world conducive for peace and harmony. This innovation is strongly advocated by UNESCO, which continually encourages various festivals initiated by Cultural Ministries worldwide, by providing operational assistance.

Going beyond just song and dance!!

International cultural festivals are, primarily, a source of never-ending enjoyment for young people. Parties, picnics and interactive workshops with newfound friends prove to be the most enjoyable pursuit ever, for the young participants. Usually concluding in heart-wrenching farewells, a festival gives young people a multitude of everlasting friendships and a bouquet of wonderful memories.

But behind all this fun and excitement, the effect these festivals have on young people's personalities, is tremendous. It is often seen, that painfully introverted and reticent participants are transformed, to a large part, into smart, outgoing and well-adjusted young individuals.

The extended interaction with others from around the world, overcoming linguistic, cultural and lifestyle differences readies the participant to successfully interact with practically anyone. The sense of achievement roused by performing on an international stage boosts confidence levels sky-high.

The exposure from travelling, interaction and being independent makes a huge impact on the young minds. This impact leaves them humbler, more sensitive and more mature in thought.

All in all, an experience of this magnitude is sure to contribute to young personalities everything essential to aspire and achieve great feats in life.
