years in Shanghai.

| The
first art festival was held in Shanghai from July 23rd
to 27th, 1994. Almost seven hundred guests from all corners
of the world participated in the grand meeting. The most
imaginative activity of the festival was "I ask the
sea to carry my message"----sending the invitations
by tossing the drift bottles into the sea. |
| |
|
| The
second art festival was held from August 2nd to 8th, 1997.
Over six hundred foreign children gathered once again
in Shanghai. The activity of "Chinese carrier pigeons
crossing the oceans to invite little friends to attend
the festival" is still remained fresh in everyone's
memory. |
| |
|
| In
2000 art festival will aim at the new century and reflect
the feature of the millennium. The children of Shanghai
will invite the foreign children to participate in the
art festival through Internet and the events of the festival
can be browsed on the net as well. Twenty children's art
troupes from twenty-one-countries and regions and twenty-one
Chinese children's art troupes participate in the art
festival that year. |

Children
are the future of the world. The past three Shanghai International
Children's Cultural and Art Festival have demonstrated
how easily children erase national boundaries and come
together in the spirit of understanding and friendship.
It was a good opportunity for young people to build new
bridge of understanding while learning from each other.
It was a unique stage upon which children from around
the world can gather and look toward the new peaceful
world together. The excellent children's art performances
will be staged at the opening and closing ceremonies during
the festival. The exchange performances will be the highlights
of the festival.
