The summer wind carried the feeling of the festival, and the group travelled to the Edinburgh International Arts and Music Festival.
In the theatre they rehearsed with people who had come from many countries. On the streets, coloured buildings and flags made the city feel like a festival. They visited the Greyfriars Bobby statue, heard the story of the dog, and spent time in old pubs.
On stage they danced and performed. They also moved between theatres and exhibitions, seeing drama, music and visual art, and read the festival brochure. They visited the castle, took part in outdoor activities, sat by a riverside pub, and watched a circus performance.
At the end they reviewed the trip together. The page describes it as time spent with art and with one another, and as a reason to continue cultural exchange.
