One of our Festival closing events, we celebrate a regional organization with an international flavor. The WCC’s program gives voice to the interests of all children, celebrating cultural diversity through music, promoting positive international relations, and asking people to work together to create a peaceful, healthy world for children. Through singing, WCC members explore musical content, and use music, art, and special pre-show activities to mediate cross-cultural differences and become peacemakers.
