Following the exhibition of works produced from all the program on March 26th in the afternoon, the Closing Ceremony opened with an original short play loosely adapted from an Osage Legend called The Wisdom of a Willow Tree. Each of the 13 program leaders gave a touching summary of their respective program and project. Wooden music performances served as a great conclusion to the week-long event.
