Let's celebrate... the things that make us different hellip The
things that make us the same hellip The experiences we've had hellip
The experiences we want to have hellip The world of opportunities for
learning, growing and serving others hellip Let's celebrate LIFE
hellip And let's do it in a global way!
Come enjoy a fun day in the park and learn about different cultures
as Returned Volunteers share the wealth of cultural experience they
have collected during the last 43 years of serving the cause of peace
around the world. This is the largest Returned Volunteer event in
the country, offering rich opportunities for cultural learning and
connecting with others who share a passion for learning and exploration.
This year's event will include;
***Tribal villages, each representing a region of the world, will
feature displays, crafts, demonstrations and activities highlighting
cultures from countries where Volunteers have served.
***Live performances and activities including dancing, martial arts,
cooking lessons, and story telling.
***"The Peace Games"; a multiple-event competition of skill, stamina
and humility where teams representing regions of the world race
against each other in performing tasks unique to various cultures.
***World beat music played by "World One Radio" DJ Cory Mason.
***Global Scavenger Hunthellipand other fun events!
So bring a picnic, invite your family and friends, and make a day of it!
