World Miss University · Demo

A message of peace, in the winners' own voices

World Miss University is a university contest that began in May 1986 to mark the International Year of Peace declared by the United Nations. PODIANE prepared a demo of what we could do together with it.

The demo on this page is a proposal by PODIANE. It is not official material or a schedule of the World Miss University organising committee.
