About the project
Intercultural Youth Leadership
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
It is believed that the world’s population recently passed more than 7 billion people, an incredible number to measure. In Tanzania, Africa as well around the world many people still barely meet anyone outside of a small circle of family, friends and community while even more never venture beyond the culture in which they were raised. Intercultural and Youth leadership project is aiming to serve as an important means of introducing people around the world to realities they might not normally be exposed to.
Many barriers have begun to fall between people around the world, with near-instantaneous communication allowing people on opposite sides of the world to meaningfully interact. Intercultural and Youth leadership project encourage people from all walks of life to appreciate and understand distinct cultures and play a key role in creating productive dialogue across the world.
