Call for Participants - World School International Forum 2020 ”Cultural Traditions: Preserving Cultural Diversity”- Tokyo, Japan

publicat în World School

Ever since 1997, when Masaki Matsudaira, the former Chairman and present advisor to the board of trustees at Kanto International School, Tokyo, Japan, initiated World School International Forum, this annual event has gathered delegates from across the globe, in an attempt to facilitate connections and collaboration between students worldwide and address issues of contemporary interest, to which teenagers find solutions together. Colegiul Național Costache Negruzzi Iasi is the only Romanian member of the World School International Forum and for 20 years it has been successfully represented by delegations of three students and a coordinating teacher that have joined this grand event together with other 20 countries across the globe: Australia, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Macao, New Zealand, Romania, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States of America, Vietnam.

The WSIF 2020 theme is Cultural Traditions: Preserving Cultural Diversity. What tradition or part of your culture do you want to preserve for the future?

Globalization has significantly improved cooperation and understanding among countries, and we are sure that World School members welcome this trend. Unfortunately, globalization is not all good news. In an increasingly borderless world, people fear that the forces of globalization are damaging our cultures and traditions. We have seen the death of thousands of languages around the world, and the change or even loss of unique customs and traditions. In response, many people around the world are feeling an urgent need to preserve their local culture and traditions. Culture may include art, music, architecture and other heritage and cultural products of high culture. It can also include mass culture or popular culture.

 We are looking for three 9th, 10th and 11th graders to represent Colegiul Național Costache Negruzzi and Romanian culture and traditions at World School International Forum that will be held in Tokyo, Japan from September 17th to 29th.
