In the ten years since ICAF ICAF International Child Art Foundation
ICAF Industrial College of the Armed Forces
ICAF International Comic Arts Festival
ICAF International Capoeira Angola Foundation
ICAF International Committee on Aeronautical Fatigue
ICAF Indo Cine Appreciation Foundation
 was founded, we have learned how best to harness children's imagination for positive social change. One of the most important lessons draws from our innovative Peace through Arts approach. We have learned that to build bonds of trust and understanding, we must focus children's attention first on commonalities, then on themselves as individuals, and finally on each other as part of the global community.

The World Children's Festival follows this approach. The festival commences with Health & Environment Day, followed by Creativity & Imagination Day, and ends with Peace & Leadership Day.

The festival is open and free to the public. Donations to ICAF are encouraged. The festival program below is subject to change without notice. The festival takes place rain or shine. Every workshop and activity is described as suitable for toddlers, children, teens or adults. The World Stage Performances are suitable for all ages.

Saturday, June 23 Health & Environment Day
