The sub
camp of Africa’s show begun when a huge amount of people from Tanzania’s camp
area went to the stage and one of them shouted ”Everybody clap now!” The
clapping song was followed by a rhythmic song where the audience repeated what
the leader sang and step by step it got louder.

South
Africa’s performance included an improvised acting game where there were two people
on the stage at a time acting until someone shouted “Freeze!”, took the other
person’s position and continued acting till the next “Freeze!” We saw also a
few funny short plays, penguin experts and improvised bed time story where the
audience decided where the story took place and who were the main characters.
Later we were taught a really nice and simple Norwegian folk dance which is
apparently called swing.

From
Karelian 4H there was an amazing rock band B’n’Lees giving a charity concert.
The donations were for an orphanage. It was cool to see how the audience
reacted according to the beat and the style of the song that B’nLees played.
During a beautiful slow song people at the Pielis-Arena were in a long line
hands on each other’s shoulders. As the next song had faster beat the line
immediately broke and the next moment you could see people moshing their hair.
