delegates from around the world reflecting the Oneness of Humanity.
• The Parade - in traditional costumes reflecting cultural heritage and diversity leading
to unity in humanity.
• Seminars/Workshops - on issues impacting children & youths such as access to
education, health and other relevant social services for the marginalised and issues
of child-participation & empowerment.
• The Future Vessel – an integrative art expression assembling event.
• The Mayors Meeting - to deliberate on a common resolution by local governments
to implement the solutions proposed by the children & youths.
• The Gold Medal Closing Ceremony - where ALL the delegates receive a Gold
