To connect people of diverse backgrounds to create conversation and shared experience in order to foster tolerance within our society by providing a safe and comfortable space that invokes open and honest interaction.
In todays society, we often create divides due to our differences, leading to a lack of tolerance. In these spaces, people are able to connect and find commonality in one another therefore breaking down these barriers and creating deeper connections. Once we see our similarities rather than our differences, we can achieve a healthy society that supports and encourages all.
“Tolerance, inter-cultural dialogue and respect for diversity are more essential than ever in a world where people are becoming more and more closely interconnected”
-Kofi Annan
