The 21st century world has become a Global Village. With mass immigration, cultural integration, inter-cultural & inter-racial marriages, cyber technology and global tourism, our lives and economies have become significantly inter-dependent.
From Asia to Africa, Europe & the Middle East to Latin America, Canada and the United States, every country has experienced heavy influx of refugees, immigrants and investors. Regardless of their origin, the immigrants have enriched the cultures of their host nations, introducing foreign languages, foods, and religious believes, in a way one could have never imagined even two decades ago.
The concept of a Global Village presents many challenges and opportunities for all of us, regardless of where we live and work.
The Multicultural Council of America (MCC) was established on September 11, 2001, after the unfortunate terrorist attack in New York and the immediate significant increase in xenophobia, racial profiling and violence against certain immigrant communities& Americans with foreign heritage.
A group of concerned citizens got together to form MCC and developed comprehensive programs, including cross-cultural seminars, workshops and to speak at educational institutions, community centers and interact with the general public to assure them that the immigrants in general, and certain groups in particular, are loyal citizens of the United States and must not to be blamed for the action of few misguided extremists.
With the help of thousands of volunteers, MCC was successful in overcoming the fear & distrust to an extent, but xenophobia has continued and even extended worldwide through misunderstanding, misinformation, extremists, and unfortunately inflamed by some news media & certain special-interest groups.
The technological, economic & educational advancement, together with increasing spirit of freedom, self-determination & global mobility, has created a greater need to overcome inequality and concept of colonialism. The Multicultural Council has thus expanded its goal and mission to create a global network, promoting peace and better understanding among people of all nations and heritage, through education, health care, tourism, trade and other programs.
The Multicultural Council, a coalition of more than 150 different Ethno-Cultural Groups from around the world, is an independent, non-religious, non-political organization, dedicated to promoting world peace, world cultures, education and health care. Help us with your ideas & resources, become a member and establish a local chapter – to help your own local community & needs, through your own local leadership, much like the International Red Cross, Red Crescent, Lions Club, Rotary Club and other great service organizations.
