Bridges

From the very beginning, our programme has aimed to connect people and strengthen the culture of coexistence: building bridges between the city and the region, between people who live here, people who work here and their friends from far away, between the traditions and cultural environments of the most diverse social groups. Our aim is to promote through our programmes a better knowledge of each other, a fragile mutual understanding and a sense of wonder. We want to live in a community where we can find the proper words - or even go beyond words - when we encounter sensitive and challenging issues. 

We believe that it is through personal experience that we can best discover the value of a small community within a majority culture that can preserve its own culture and traditions. It is not just coexistence, but real connection - through which we are able to change our worldview by absorbing each other's ideas and amplifying each other's values.
