ActivityPassports: We will create mini-passports to commemorate our journey across the world! There will be spaces to build travel bucket lists, draw pictures, and write down memories and reflections from each of our destinations.
Xilogravura:
It is a traditional art form from the North of Brazil. It is a woodcut art method used to illustrate regional themes, Brazilian folk tales, local characters and social issues. It usually uses wood which is carved into different shapes. Then it is dipped into black ink or paint and stamped onto paper.

Nokshi Katha:
It is an embroidery art form in Bangladesh where scenes from everyday life, intricate designs, and even flowers and animals are stitched onto fabric. Nokshi Katha art is an adaptation of this heritage, where designs are brought to life on paper.
Track Art:
Truck art is a vibrant and colorful form of decoration seen on vehicles in Pakistan. These designs include floral patterns, animals, landscapes, and meaningful quotes or poetry. It’s a way for drivers to express creativity and bring beauty to everyday life.

Chinese Hanging Paper Lantern:
In modern-day China, the Lantern Festival is celebrated at the end of Chinese New Year celebrations! On this day, across China, lanterns adorn the streets with riddles on them while families honor deceased ancestors. Create a hanging paper lantern with The World in Us, a signal of good luck, forgiveness, and prosperity!
Lebanese Cuisine Tour:الشيف (Chef) Menu-maker Edition:
Think of yourself as an owner of a Lebanese Restaurant! Draw a menu including all the food we will learn about together. How much would you sell them for? Let the food you liked most out of all of them be the weekend special!

Gondola Rides in Venice: We will draw our own gondolas (the iconic boats of Venice), ourselves as gondolieri (the people who steer them) and the canals of Venice! Then, we will fill our gondolas with pasta for a fun Italian twist!
Indian Elephant Mask:
Create an Indian elephant mask with us! Elephants hold profound sacred significance in Hinduism, particularly exemplified through Lord Ganesha, the revered deity known for wisdom and intellect. They have also played a predominant role in ancient warfare! Let us show the beauty and elegance of elephants through art!

Danfo bus:
You can’t say you know Nigeria without taking a trip in one of ‘Danfo’ bus! To get a taste of what the hustle and bustle of a normal Nigerian day feels like, you’ll take a picture of your very own ‘Danfo’ bus, signature black and yellow stripes!
