Future in the Hands of Young People

Our future is in the hands of young people. Whether young people grow up to discriminate, repress, and create conflict based on cultural intolerances—as seen in the aftermath of 9/11 with the suspicion toward individuals of Arab descent—depends on their exposure to different cultures, the development of their interest in other cultures, and their ability to communicate with individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Creation of the “Universal Playground”

Pangaea created the “Universal Playground” as a place where young people around the world can, of their own volition, come and enjoy personal bonds with their international peers, through the shared experiences of fun activities.

Respect for Cultural Diversity

Pangaea embodies the spirit of UNESCO’s Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, approved on October 20, 2005, by creating an environment where participants learn to respect cultural diversity and appreciate individuals for who they are, irrespective of their social backgrounds.
