What is “Semi-World Festival”?
Semi-World Festival focuses on Africa and African-rooted countries, their culture and people. The festival introduces African culture, Caribbean culture, as well as culture of African immigrants in Europe and America so that visitors can get a better understanding about the culture and foster international exchange. Especially, we want children to get to know about African culture, Caribbean culture, and African-rooted culture through the festival. By comparing those cultures, children can think about Africa and its culture, otherwise they don’t have much chance to learn about it at school. This can also lead them to find more of an interest in world history.
