Sidoarjo, Kampus Ursulin – Sanmaris, my name is Clairine. I am seventh grader. I am one of the participants sent to The “Copain Du Monde” (Friends of the World) program in Philippines. It was Conducted to promote friendship, cultural exchange, and solidarity among children from different country. This report outlies the activities, experiences, and outcomes of the event for myself. 

The Objectives of this program are to Introduce each culture from each country to foreign friends, to make friends from different countries, to introduce participants friendship to the values of cooperation, kindness, sense of caring for others and respect for human being. 

The activity was held on 19th July 2025 – 31th July 2025 at Divine Grace Leisure Park Lipa, Batangas, Philippines. It is about two hours riding from Manila, the capital city of Philippines. Who join this program? There were about more than fourty participants, which are students and adult leaders. 

There were a lot of activities there. Throughout the program, participants engaged in various education and fun activities, such as: Team games, Cultural Performances  (singing and dancing), Art and Crafts workshops, Sharing personal stories and traditions and many more. 

Participants learnt many things. They gained confidence and communication skills. They also learned about diversity, empathy and teamwork. Besides, a sense of global solidarity and understanding was strengthened. 

 As participants, I hope adults continue organizing such events to build a amore connected and compassionate world. Copain Du Monde Phillippines was not just an event, it was a movements of hearts. It reminded us all that no matter where we come from, we can always find common ground through kindness, laughter, and shared dreams. 

We look forward to holding more events like this in the future, bringing even more children like me into the circle of peace and friendship. Because of this event too, I become more independent and also responsible. Even, I became more independent, responsible, disciplined, and more respectful to other friends. Because of this event too, I also made many new friends and companions from abroad 

The Copain Du Monde Philippines activity was a meaningful and inspiring event. It successfully brought together children to celebrate peace, friendship, and humanity.
