On stage there was dancing, singing, and recitals which started at 11am and continuing until 6pm. Amongst the performers were both Stono\u017eka groups. Visitors were able to see diverse performances of many children&#8217;s groups, as well as many other interesting supporting activities. I can say that it was the children who gifted a beautiful day to each other. As the seeds of togetherness and tolerance grew in their hearts it is certain that Australian multi-cultural children bloomed little more.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the Slovak Catholic Community of St. Cyril and Methodius as well as the Office for Slovaks Living Abroad for financial support of the children&#8217;s folklore ensemble Stono\u017eka. Thanks also to our Australian-Slovak children for being part of such an event. By participating not only did they represent Slovakia, but their dancing and singing contributed to the beautiful ideal of togetherness and harmony in Australian life.\u00a0 We also thank the organizers of the festival for the opportunity to participate and wish them much success in future festivals.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2406\" src=\"http:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/4-600x399.jpg\" alt=\"4\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/4-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/4-800x532.jpg 800w, https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/4.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2405\" src=\"http:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/3-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"3\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/3-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/3-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/3.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2404\" src=\"http:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/2-600x404.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"600\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/2-600x404.jpg 600w, https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/2-800x539.jpg 800w, https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/2.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2403\" src=\"http:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/1-600x416.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"600\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/1-600x416.jpg 600w, https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/1-70x50.jpg 70w, https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/1-800x555.jpg 800w, https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/1.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can read of the festival success in the following report:<br \/>\n<a title=\"Klikni Tu\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dailytelegraph.com.au\/newslocal\/south-west\/crowd-of-10000-attend-annual-bankstown-childrens-festival-at-paul-keating-park\/story-fngr8hxh-1227059100281\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.dailytelegraph.com.au\/newslocal\/south-west\/crowd-of-10000-attend-annual-bankstown-childrens-festival-at-paul-keating-park\/story-fngr8hxh-1227059100281<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday, the 13th of September 2014 the annual Bankstown Children\u2019s Festival was held at Paul Keating Park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2406,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community","category-stonozka"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2401"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2401\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2407,"href":"https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2401\/revisions\/2407"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slovakcommunitysydney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
