Fire knife dance workshops begin
5 October 2006

As part of the intersectoral Youth Visioning for Island Living programme, UNESCO contributed $3,000 to the Aliao Club in Samoa to conduct traditional fire-knife dance workshops in four villages in the Samoan island of Savaii. Representatives of the UNESCO Office Apia presented a symbolic check to the director of the project, Lene Leota, at a ceremony held last Tuesday 3 October at the Aliao Club, Apia. At least 200 young people will take part in the workshops, which aim to encourage friendship and increased understanding between youth from the city and youth from rural villages.
