Why the theme "Culture"?
Culture is a system of building identity. Culture covers all aspects from language, politics, economic systems, traditions, behaviour, religion, fashion, food and much more. Culture determines the way we see the world around us. Culture is something to share, to learn from, to change... Culture may also be considered the quality in a person or society that arises from a concern for what is regarded as excellent.
We hope to share Culture experiences that will open doors for us to learn & grow.
