A special focus of this Forum is to provide opportunities to develop broader and deeper appreciation of the insights, knowledge and nature-based wisdoms of members of the Tasmanian Aboriginal people. With support and input from local cultural elders, we will be invited to consider contemporary BAT practices through the lens of representatives of the oldest continuous culture on the planet.

“One World – One Camp”
The camping movement worldwide helps children of various countries in vastly different ways: indoor v.s. outdoor activities, high-rope v.s. low-rope courses, arts v.s. technology programs, and cooking v.s. mountaineering etc., but the rationale and philosophy underlying all these apparently different camp activities are the same: providing children a loving and safe environment where children are free from inhibitions so they can explore and find themselves, and eventually become themselves and also a productive member of their respective communities.
The ICC 2020 China shares this value and vision of camping in helping children grow to be responsible citizens of world.
“One World, One Camp”, a theme that will unite the world’s camping community in seeking for common ground in camping philosophy and practices rather than magnify differences.
Let’s camp for children of the world, the one and only world we have!
