Dance is an integral part of the African culture. Dancers use symbolic gestures, masks, costumes, body painting and props to communicate.

Local high school students prepare to discuss issues affecting their country and debate resolutions.

As delegates, students step into the shoes of ambassadors of countries that are members of the African Union (AU) to debate current issues, prepare draft resolutions, plot strategy, negotiate with supporters and adversaries, resolve conflicts, and navigate the AU’s rules of procedure – all in the interest of resolving problems that affect the world amicably.
