The eighteen studentsformedthree groups. As the cultural envoys of Shanghai’s sister cities – Montreal in Canada, Osaka in Japan and Alexandria in Egypt – they introduced the cultural characteristics of these cities in various ways to the parents and children at thehall,and designed related interactive activities to entertain and educate the children.
18位同学代表分作三组，分别作为加拿大蒙特利尔市、日本大阪和埃及亚历山大市的文化使者，为旅行者@家里活动的家长和小朋友，以各种形式介绍了这三个城市的文化特色，并设计了相关的互动活动，让小朋友获得乐趣、增长知识。
The MostFestive——Japan Group
最喜庆——日本组
The research page of Fukuwarai|福笑资料的页面
The first presenters were the Japan Group. After introducing Japanese culture, the two hosts in Japanese kimonos led the children in carrying out the traditional activities of theJapanese Spring Festival, drawing happy smiles (Fukuwarai). From the expressions of the children present, we can see that this was a veryhappy occasion.
最先开始的是日本大阪组，穿着日本和服的男女主持在介绍了日本的文化以后，与组员一起带领小朋友进行了日本春节的传统活动——绘制福笑。从现场小朋友的表情可以看出，这是一个非常喜庆的活动。

The Most Rigorous - Canadian Group
最严谨——加拿大组
The cultural logos stickers|印有文化标识的贴纸
Next came the Canada group, of which the members were all boys. Although there was no regional dress for this group, they found the unique icon of Montreal and printed it on their clothes. Starting from anintroduction ofthe city using two maps, one of the world and one ofCanada, they graduallytransitioned to a presentation of printedcolor pictures of various Montreal products. Finally, by drawing cards in advance, they checked the small audience's mastery of Montreal products, and a maple leaf keyring was awarded to those who answered correctly. Looking at the children speaking enthusiastically, we could tell that those young teachersreallyknew how to teach effectively.
接着是以男生为主的加拿大组，虽然没有明显的具有地域性的服饰，他们自己找来了蒙特利尔市独特的图标，打印了标识贴在自己衣服上。从世界地图和加拿大地图两张大图开始，过渡到印有各种蒙特利尔特色物产的彩色图片，最后通过提前绘制的卡片来考核小观众们对蒙特利尔物产的掌握情况，答对的可以获得一枚枫叶状钥匙扣。看着小朋友踊跃发言的样子，不禁觉得这些小老师们还真有两下子。

The Most Cordial - Egypt Group
最亲切——埃及组
Although the Egypt Group had the most remote topic, in terms of geographic characteristics and distance, they fully considered theinterests and backgroundof the little audience while designing their project, so their activities interacted with the children the most and were also the most cordial. While waiting for their turn, Shawn dressed as the pharaoh of Egypt attracted the children's attention. When it was time to present, the performers and audience sat face to face, close to each other.
虽然从地理远近和地域特色上来讲，埃及组是最具有异域风情的，但是因为方案设计时对受众特色的充分考量，使得这个小组的活动与小朋友的互动最多，也最为亲切。还在该节目组候场时刻，穿着埃及法老服饰的Shawn同学就受到了大小朋友的诸多关注。节目开始后，小朋友和大朋友更是面对面凑在了一起，亲近无比。
Introductions andstorytellingsessions for ancient Egypt | 古埃及文化介绍和故事环节
There were two interactive activities after the culture introduction about the ancientEygpt:Some of the older children sat around the cherry trees beside the booth, listening to the story told by the Egypt queen. Others were writing their names in hieroglyphs under the guidance of thevolunteersand successfully obtained their favorite stickers as a reward.古埃及文化介绍结束后是两个互动活动：一些稍大的小朋友围坐在展台旁的樱花树下，听着埃及王后讲故事；另一些小朋友则在志愿者的指导下，写出了自己的名字的埃及文字，并成功地获得了自己喜爱的贴纸作为奖励。
