As human beings, we are becoming increasingly aware (and at times are being painfully forced to acknowledge) that our world has become a global village and that lessons learned in one place have an impact in another.
It has often been noted that fear of “foreigners” tends to be greatest where there is least contact with or knowledge of them and can turn foreigners into threatening aliens rather than individual people; men, women and children with unique names, faces and history.

In our city this month you will find an array of special events, that inform, educate, challenge, seduce and open possibilities of engaging in real and authentic dialogue with the “other”.
