The day started with a parade of the students carrying the 48 flags of the countries represented in the student’s families. The opening ceremony featured speeches from Dr. Kerida Mc Donald, Head of communications for UNICEF Ethiopia, and students Henan abate and Abdullah-hi Tawfik.
Following this ceremony, Secondary School students took part in a number of debates and presentations around the role of the UN and important global issues, led by teachers and senior students. Through the hard work of many parents, students and teachers, there were also 27 different groups who set up displays of their home countries, with samples of national food to try and traditional crafts and music to set the atmosphere of the individual countries. Displays of dance and musical performances from Japan, India and Ethiopia were special highlights of this cultural exhibition.
