"All persons have therefore the right to express themselves and to create and disseminate their work in the language of their choice, and particularly in their mother tongue; all persons are entitled to quality education and training that fully respect their cultural identity; and all persons have the right to participate in the cultural life of their choice and conduct their own cultural practices, subject to respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms." Article 5 of the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity (2001)

The United Nations World Day of Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development recognizes people’s right to education, practices and creative expression that respects their cultural identity. Each society has distinctive features, and this day celebrates the importance of culture and its diversity around the globe.

At A Global Friendship, we embrace our artisans' culture in the design of the products we offer. AGF focuses not on the ways culture may divide us from our neighbors, but on the ways cultural understanding can establish new partnerships and friends abroad.


AGF is an example of how development efforts are more successful with mutual respect and understanding - AGF's funds go back into developing infrastructure and business in our partner communities.
