We collected a group of citizen voluteers to put on a “Sekai no Kodomo”, or “Children of the World” Fetival. For this first event, three groups will participate in the festival,from Vladivostok (Russia), Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk (Russia) and Taipei (Taiwan). Also participating are several groups of local children performers, including drumming, singing, dance, and puppet theatre. The festival has the goal of establishing international friendships through sharing the international performing arts of children. It is an International Performing Arts Festival, where all the performers are kids!  We think you will enjoy the spectacle and atmosphere of this event. General ticket are 1,000 yen (500 yen for students). Tickets available in Hakodate City Hall and  at the Shimin-kaikan. Full details in this Japanese blog entry,
