| Note： |
“Copain du Monde (The world’s fellowship)” is celebrating their 25th year of history this year, and every year children from various parts of the world gather in specific camps throughout France. During their stay in the camp through various workshops and games, the children deepen their interaction with one another. However, the children who participated in the camp, upon returning home, felt less attached to the others they met during the camp, and their experiences were not being broadcasted to more people. To combat this, by creating things and dimensions together, and displaying one’s talents and/or favorite things, WORLD FESTIVAL planned and operated a project where interaction could be made in the inner depths of the children. On the day of the program, by providing various content such as music session booths, recording experiences, booths set up for children to take photos freely by digital cameras and SLRs, re-purposing used clothing, fashion snapshots, pasting artworks, etc., each and every child was able to freely enjoy and take challenge in what they liked. And on the last day of the camp, we organized a gallery display of what the children created, photos they took, and a fashion show. The experience of seeing, feeling, completing, and laughing together with people of the world is an irreplaceable treasure. This experience in no doubt will expand their views, choices in their futures, and their potential. We feel that it will connect to a future where regardless of nations, religion, culture, life , nature, overcoming all borders, they will accept one another and support others. |

On this project, with the concept “Just one day, in another person’s shoes”, we were accompanied by the internet media project “another life”, an organization which produces articles and interviews of various people and their lives. We conducted interviews of 4 individuals, comprising of local NGO staff members and various chaperones. We have posted the articles on “The world is connected! CH powered by WORLD FESTIVAL Inc.”.
