The 6th ASEAN Festival is just around the corner, and we are very excited to share this fantastic piece of news with all of you! This year’s theme is “The WORLD is ONE”, and rightly so because we insist on communicating with you our solidarity—not just with one another but also with Japan. Our hearts are certainly with the victims of the March 11 earthquake, tsunami and ensuing nuclear disaster as they rebuild their lives even as we speak. To express our support, part of the proceeds collected from this event shall be donated to the Tohoku earthquake victims.
We have a whole slew of events lined up for you! There will be cultural performances by the representative ASEAN student groups including live song performances by our very own vocal talents. Visual sights are also in store for you in our fashion show segment showcasing each ASEAN country’s traditional costume, not forgetting that of our Japanese counterpart, SNIE! If this is not enough to entice you, we also have live audience interaction in the form of cultural sharing! This means fun and traditional games, as well as your chance to try on some of our traditional costumes! Last but not least, and perhaps the most important of all, we have FOOD! This is one great opportunity to savor these unique and delectable treats at the convenience of having them all in one place!
Whether or not you learn new things about other cultures, make friends, or take part in the activities, that’s entirely up to you but one’s thing for sure: we definitely need your support to make this work. So come on down and cheer your friends on, or simply have a smashing time!
