Our Story
LET’S CONNECT WITH RESPECT
We live in an interconnected and ever-changing world, which makes having a good understanding of different cultures and backgrounds vital for our economy and society – not so easy to do. As people, we tend to react to things according to our own perspective, language, and culture. It’s natural, but it could also lead to misunderstandings and false assumptions.
A respectful society only forms through conscious decision-making, experience, and education.
Here are some stats to back that up.
A socially cohesive society
works towards the well-being of all its members and fights exclusion.
The World Development Report 2013 of the World Bank finds that employment is directly connected with social cohesion.
DESIGNING A RESPECTFUL SOCIETY
To create our unique designs and promote a respectful society, we bring diverse groups together. People from different backgrounds (gender, age, race, class, and more) come together to discuss topics that affect us all in a creative and interactive session.
During the session, participants confront their biases while developing communication, empathy, and cross-cultural skills. In the end, participants identify a central message from their discussion, which tells the world their stories and inspires our designs.
SOCIAL IMPACT: WE EMPOWER LIVES & WE CONNECT PEOPLE
Our first and current project is improving the educational prospects of primary school girls in less fortunate countries.
