Our Philosophy

Mission:

     The iCross-Cultural Citizen Project is a cultural anthropology course-based
project meant to raise critical consciousness about the rich cultural diversity in our
indigenous world (in our planet). Being totally aware of the limitations of being outsiders,
we are a group of multidisciplinary undergraduate students who believe in cross-cultural
sensitivity and participatory agency aimed at disseminating information about
indigenous realities as accurately as possible.


Vision:

     The iCross-Cultural Citizen Project’s vision is to create an online cross-cultural
space for students, professionals, and youth to learn and exchange cross-culturally
sensitive information about contemporary indigenous experiences. From that outsider
student’s perspective, we will try to theoretically explore possible collaborative solutions
to problems that affect the indigenous populations of our planet. Finally, we hope for the
future creation of a space where indigenous youth can share their experiences and their
realities with us for real mutual collaboration to take place.


Values:

• We value the maximization of benefits to indigenous peoples and vulnerable populations in the world.
• We value the respect for persons all over the world.
• We value the equal treatment of people, and we are against the exploitation of vulnerable groups around the world.
• We value collaborative cross-cultural learning and critical thinking.
