Why We Celebrate International Festivals

Children learn best through hands-on exploration and play. Our curriculum introduces them to festivals around the world, from famous festivals like Chinese New Year and Diwali to well known festivals such as World Book Day and Human Rights Day. These celebrations are more than fun events; they help children:

  • Understand intercultural communication and education principles.
  • Experience the richness of celebrations around world communities.
  • Gain intercultural competence in education, preparing them for a multicultural future.
  • Learn about sustainability, empathy, and cooperation through global campaigns.

Monthly Festival Calendar

Each month combines a regional cultural theme with key international festivals promoted by UNESCO or recognized worldwide:

  • Arts, crafts, and music immerse them in great festivals of the world.
  • Culinary activities allow tasting global cuisines during popular festivals around the world.
Reflection activities teach values of respect, kindness, and sustainability.
