This weekend saw a unique and special summit – as young people from across the region gathered in friendship to take part in the Sen Guaiya Hao Guahan Youth Arts Fest 2025. 40 groups across ages levels united to appreciate the differences between our backgrounds, but to also celebrate the shared love they all have for artistic expression through the fine arts.

They enjoyed the magic of the things that bond all islanders: food, dance, art, song, fashion, storytelling, and above all, respect and love. This new generation honored the tradition ways of their ancestors while making their own mark on history.

They came away stronger, more confident in who they are, and more proud to be a part of the Pacific family.
