Intercultural Fair

Intercultural Fair is AFS’s annual school event, which host schools will be invited to join. The Fair is a great opportunity for local secondary school students to learn about different cultures. Classrooms will be hosted by exchange students from Brazil, Spain, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan and Poland. They will share the culture of their home countries in English through interesting activities such as dancing, singing and games. In March 2023, We are glad to see nearly 600 students and teachers from about 50 secondary schools participate in the event. We also plan to organise the Fair again in November 2023. Please stay tuned for our updates!
