Event Description
The 6th World Youth Uchinanchu Festival PERU 2018
【Festival Objectives】
The World Youth Uchinanchu Association (WYUA) was established during the 5thWorldwide Uchinanchu Festival in 2011. Since 2012, WYUA has been hosting the World Youth Uchinanchu Festival each year on five continents* (South America, North America, Europe, Asia, and Okinawa) for youth ages 18 to 35.
In the previous five festivals, youth from all over the world have interacted with each other and built an "Uchina Network" between the participants from each area. The 6th World Youth Uchinanchu Festival makes the most effective use of the Network which we have been building thus far by “expanding and strengthening the Network” and “producing active, globally-oriented youth”.
*The continents refer to the continents upon which the World Youth Uchinanchu Festival has been held thus far and include: South America, North America, Europe, Asia, and Okinawa.
