As the cultural envoys of Shanghai’s sister cities – Montreal in Canada, Osaka in Japan and Alexandria in Egypt – they introduced the cultural characteristics of these cities in various ways to the parents and children at thehall,and designed related interactive activities to entertain and educate the children.
18位同學代表分作三組，分別作為加拿大蒙特利爾市、日本大阪和埃及亞歷山大市的文化使者，為旅行者@家里活動的家長和小朋友，以各種形式介紹了這三個城市的文化特色，并設計了相關的互動活動，讓小朋友獲得樂趣、增長知識。
The MostFestive——Japan Group
最喜慶——日本組

The first presenters were the Japan Group. After introducing Japanese culture, the two hosts in Japanese kimonos led the children in carrying out the traditional activities of theJapanese Spring Festival, drawing happy smiles (Fukuwarai). From the expressions of the children present, we can see that this was a veryhappy occasion.
最先開始的是日本大阪組，穿著日本和服的男女主持在介紹了日本的文化以后，與組員一起帶領小朋友進行了日本春節的傳統活動——繪制福笑。從現場小朋友的表情可以看出，這是一個非常喜慶的活動。

最嚴謹——加拿大組
The cultural logos stickers|印有文化標識的貼紙
Next came the Canada group, of which the members were all boys. Although there was no regional dress for this group, they found the unique icon of Montreal and printed it on their clothes. Starting from anintroduction ofthe city using two maps, one of the world and one ofCanada, they graduallytransitioned to a presentation of printedcolor pictures of various Montreal products. Finally, by drawing cards in advance, they checked the small audience's mastery of Montreal products, and a maple leaf keyring was awarded to those who answered correctly. Looking at the children speaking enthusiastically, we could tell that those young teachersreallyknew how to teach effectively.
接著是以男生為主的加拿大組，雖然沒有明顯的具有地域性的服飾，他們自己找來了蒙特利爾市獨特的圖標，打印了標識貼在自己衣服上。從世界地圖和加拿大地圖兩張大圖開始，過渡到印有各種蒙特利爾特色物產的彩色圖片，最后通過提前繪制的卡片來考核小觀眾們對蒙特利爾物產的掌握情況，答對的可以獲得一枚楓葉狀鑰匙扣。看著小朋友踴躍發言的樣子，不禁覺得這些小老師們還真有兩下子。

The Most Cordial - Egypt Group
最親切——埃及組
Although the Egypt Group had the most remote topic, in terms of geographic characteristics and distance, they fully considered theinterests and backgroundof the little audience while designing their project, so their activities interacted with the children the most and were also the most cordial. While waiting for their turn, Shawn dressed as the pharaoh of Egypt attracted the children's attention. When it was time to present, the performers and audience sat face to face, close to each other.
雖然從地理遠近和地域特色上來講，埃及組是最具有異域風情的，但是因為方案設計時對受眾特色的充分考量，使得這個小組的活動與小朋友的互動最多，也最為親切。還在該節目組候場時刻，穿著埃及法老服飾的Shawn同學就受到了大小朋友的諸多關注。節目開始后，小朋友和大朋友更是面對面湊在了一起，親近無比。
Introductions andstorytellingsessions for ancient Egypt | 古埃及文化介紹和故事環節
There were two interactive activities after the culture introduction about the ancientEygpt:Some of the older children sat around the cherry trees beside the booth, listening to the story told by the Egypt queen. Others were writing their names in hieroglyphs under the guidance of thevolunteersand successfully obtained their favorite stickers as a reward.古埃及文化介紹結束后是兩個互動活動：一些稍大的小朋友圍坐在展臺旁的櫻花樹下，聽著埃及王后講故事；另一些小朋友則在志愿者的指導下，寫出了自己的名字的埃及文字，并成功地獲得了自己喜愛的貼紙作為獎勵。
