our philosophy
We focus on improving communication between people from different cultures (mainly from Africa and the Middle East).
Our events should be a source of inspiration for individuals, businesses, organizations, NGOs and associations living and/or working in these regions.
We help you understand what makes others tick so that you can avoid misunderstandings and meet on a level playing field.
