CLOSING CEREMONY (EVENING)

  Sunday, August 5^th    16:00-17:30

Each delegation is requested to organize a 10 minute departing performance which consists of two parts: a message reflecting upon what you did in the summit and typical cultural presentation such as a folk song or a traditional dance.  Considering the amount of free time you have during the summit, we suggest that it be something so traditional and common that everyone in your group knows it well and that it does not require any practice.
