An Expo-themed music carnival is touring the world. It involves a bunch of musical and cultural exchange programs that bring students across the planet together.
The debut concert of the carnival was staged on June 26 at Fudan University in Shanghai. This was followed by a performance of Chinese student choir, dance troupe and symphony orchestra at the closing ceremony of the 20th Australian International Music Festival on July 12.
Chinese students performed Expo-themed songs and danced with Expo 2010 mascot Haibao at the Sydney Opera House to promote the event to their overseas peers.
Other stops on the global tour have not yet been determined as details are still being worked out.
The carnival was organized by the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination and will run through the Shanghai World Expo, which ends on October 31, 2010.
During the Expo, students from nearly 100 top universities such as Harvard, Yale, Oxford and Cambridge will perform and conduct cultural exchanges with their Chinese counterparts from Tsinghua, Peking, Fudan and Jiaotong universities.
