World Village Mornings: Periods 1 & 2: Instructors: Serenity Fisher (focusing on songwriting and theatre games) World Village Afternoons: Periods 3 & 4: Instructors: Slim Harrison Description: World Village offers a rich variety of activities for young people from students entering kindergarten to 12 years old, attending with adult participants at Common Ground on the Hill. Students must have school experience to be enrolled. The Common Ground on the Hill theme of building community through the arts is embodied in this program. Activities include music, dance, drama, crafts and recreation. Common Ground musicians and artists make scheduled visits to World Village, sharing their music, dance and art with the youths. Refreshments are offered morning and afternoon. Choose either or both sections (Periods 1 & 2 and/or Periods 3 & 4). Register for Morning or Afternoon sessions separately. Participants revert to their guardian’s care during lunch. World Village ends at 4:00 PM, after which there are a number of elective classes that can be attended with an adult guardian tuition free.
