“Those who are locked in the cage of one culture, their own, are always in a state of latent war and do not know it”

This statement by anthropologist Robert Hanvey may be expressed also in another way: those who feel uncomfortable away from their homeland or away from their language are only half citizens and inadequate actors in the global market. Opening up to the world without losing one’s roots; addressing reality from many perspectives; discovering the boundaries of one’s culture by interacting with that of others; experiencing the commonality of human links in spite of visible differences: these are the goals to which the Intercultura Foundation will give substance and support, by studying and developing structures and practices for intercultural learning.
