With the main aim to connect the children with the wide world around them and feel, we provided various attractions such as many job experiencing sessions, worldwide contents that sparked curiosity, and career speech contests. From planning, WORLD FESTIVAL oversaw directing, layout of the venue, promotion, funding, and producing of the event.

Lastly：	Almost all of the event management staff were current college students or those in their first year of work. Each individual came up with, planned, and took responsibility of the content creation, promoting, and gathering the crowds. Including them, we want the experience to not be a fleeting moment for the children and everyone involved, but to be an opportunity to greatly influence their future careers and dreams, as well as their life choices and outlook. And, for the children and youth who will shape the future, we want to create an opportunity for them to support one another and build a relationship across borders and cultures.
