Kids' World Mission
To promote understanding and peace by creating an inspiring, entertaining and educational international children's event which increases tolerance and appreciation of all cultures.

About Kids' World International Festival
Kids' World International Festival is a three days event for families. It takes place in Tulsa every other year and has provided Oklahoma families and schools with a unique place to imagine, discover and share.

 

60 exhibitors and vendors ranging from local businesses and educational organizations to ethnic and cultural groups from around the world unite with the singular purpose of providing families and schools a safe, friendly environment to learn about people and cultures from far away places.

Kids' World and Schools
Before the doors open, a Kids' World Curriculum meeting PASS objectives is distributed to teachers through workshops allowing them to incorporate aspects of Kids' World in the classroom. In addition, an art project is designed for students to discover specific cultures while in the classroom.

During a two-hour school field trip, children are given a passport that is stamped as they visit dozens of "countries" and have the opportunity to learn about other cultures, while reinforcing math, social studies, geography, science, literature, music, and visual and language arts.
