On Friday, January 2, 18 Indonesian and Canadian exchange students threw a community farewell party at St. Paul’s Anglican Church for the program’s host families, volunteer work placement partners, and other supporters of CWY. Don’t forget to check out Voices from Canada World Youth: Indonesia and Canada.
. Inspired by the Top Men theatrical production the exchange
students saw in the fist week of their stay, the play combined
live music and interpretive performance.
When performing the songs and dances, Canadians
dressed in Indonesian traditional costumes. Schachner says
it’s an “every year struggle” for the Canadian group to defie
a typical Canadian costume. It is also challenging to dance a
traditional dance on their exchange stay in Indonesia.

The Saman dance, UNESCO World Heritage Dance,
symbolizes unity and co-operation. Songs are an integral
part of the dances.
