The Humanist Center for Cultures is part of a broader effort to build a society that considers diversity as its strength and welcomes the input of minorities, women, and its youth, a society where the power is in the neighborhoods. Racism, discrimination, and prejudice have set groups and individuals against each other in an ever-spiraling cycle of disrespect, misunderstanding and fear. We have come to see one another as potential competitors , threats - enemies. As humanists, we regard the Center of Cultures as the effect of convergent diversity: where people of different cultures, sexes, ages from the neighborhood work together to build the society that we want to live in! This is globalization at a grassroots level.

Our highest priority is education, health and the quality of life based on a new economic system that reinvests into neighborhoods to allow the full development of the potential of its citizens, a society based on real democracy. The widening gap between rich and poor nationally and internationally and the increasing numbers of people that cannot meet their basic needs such as work, housing, health care, education, clothes, is as real as the ac cumulation of the capital that leads to an increasingly vulnerable and profoundly immoral situation. The Humanist Center of Cultures provides a forum in cyberspace where different Centers of Cultures all over the world exchange their ideas, proposals, experiences, campaigns, materials and anything else promoting the converging diversity of cultures.
