Deep Dive: Building Bridges Between Cultures
The Modern Agora @ Trinity Bellwoods Park
July 25, 2026
We discussed how to build bridges between cultures in a city as diverse as Toronto - and one attendee turned the conversation into a concrete initiative:
Building bridges between cultures
- •Moving from a superficial understanding of other cultures into deeper knowledge and immersion
- •Doing so without stepping (too far) into cultural appropriation
A new initiative in the making
- •Forming a group of people who want to explore and immerse themselves in new cultures - not as "tourists", but as participants
- •Shared meals, cultural site visits, and honest conversations with people whose backgrounds differ from their own
- •Subscribe to our newsletter to stay tuned for more information on this initiative
