Folktale Night
July 21, 2011
We have many traditions at Global Youth Village international summer camp. Folktale Night is a long-time tradition and a popular part of our evening programs. Villagers are divided into small groups and are handed costumes and a written folktale. After just an hour, they are asked to act out the folktale for the rest of the Village. There usually a lot of laughter and everyone gets a chance to act a little silly and express their creativity. Folktale night emphasizes cooperation and everyone learns something. Check out this short video of The Story of Colors, a Mexican folktale.
Sharing Night!

Sharing Night is one of the many evening programs we have at Global Youth Village international summer camp. It is a long-time tradition that is part of our evening programs. It usually occurs in the middle or the end of a session and gives participants and staff the opportunity to share their many hidden talents with each other. Everyone has a great time, singing, dancing, acting etc. Check out the latest sharing night video:
Around the World Night
July 14, 2011
Every evening program at the Village offers something different. Tonight is Around the World Night at GYV. All the participants have the opportunity to share various aspects of their culture. Many chose to dance. After the dancing on the stage, participants moved to the tent area where they shared photographs, artifacts, costumes, and instruments from their respective countries. Check out a short clip of the evening program:
Jammin’ with World Beat
July 10, 2011
Last night at Global Youth Village international summer camp, participants and staff jammed to a World Beat Presentation by Robert Jospe and Kevin Davis. World Beat was an educational presentation to our diverse audience of U.S. and international participants during our evening program. Kevin and Robert took the group on a musical journey, exploring diaspora of African rhythms in the Americas. Our trip started in West & Central Africa and went on to Cuba, Trinidad, and the Dominican Republic. After that trip was over, our Iraqi participants took us to Iraq. Since nobody was tired yet, the staff decided they wanted to go to Trinidad. Here is a short video of our trip:
