The National Day Presentation is a special part of the programme. Each country will have approximately 30 minutes to make an official presentation to the rest of the Ship about their country. The Japanese national presentation may be longer.

Each contingent introduces their country from various perspectives with the aid of videos, slides, leaflets, exhibitions, and so on.

It consists of "Exhibition" and "Cultural Show".  The ideas is to present an honest, accurate snapshot of your country. 

There will be limited preparation time before the actual presentation so each contingent are advised to keep it relatively simple, clear and brief.
