The annual China-ASEAN Youth Camp kicked off with a start in Guangxi, Nanning.
Guangxi Universities of Nationalities left a deep impression on me during the trip. One interesting thing about Guangxi is that they have many ethnic minorities, thus they have different languages as well as different house structures, full of ethnic flavor. Whilst we were there, the local universitity students specially put on their ethnic costumes for us and explained about the costumes.
This university has a special department for ASEAN languages and law, and the department houses various ASEAN countries' books, as well as giving courses on ASEAN native languages.
The university emphasizes on environmental protection, and is a true blue "green" school with the ecological surroundings.
Chinese culture, ASEAN culture and environmental protection are amongst the themes for this year's youth camp. In just 7 days, the programme hosted 3 cultural nights. Through singing and dancing, we exchanged our culture and closed the gap between all the youths. Chinese students presented different ethnic dances with such grace that we were impressed. Each country brought out their best performances and the elegant costumes with magnificant dances left us all awestruck.
Singapore team sent 17 delegates to sing the folk song "Little Voices from the Heart". This item was well received by all the delegates, and everyone started to sing and hum along without realizing it. The scene at cultural night was really unforgettable.
ASEAN countries' student representatives voiced their opinions about voluntary work in their countries during the discussion session. Someone suggested setting up a ASEAN voluntary site to consolidate ASEAN's efforts in voluntarism.
In this youth camp, we not only learnt about Singaporeans in different areas, we also made friends with other chinese youths as well as ASEAN youths. We realized that even if ASEAN's 10 countries and China have different cultures, languages, and geographical locations, we are part of asia. :)
