Dear OWCp Members,

It is my pleasure to inform you that your Project OWCp & its InternationalCommunity is viewed by TESOL Organization as a model that connects cultures to

promote peace and increase global understanding through dialogue, debate andcollaboration.

I am invited to speak about OWCp experience in facilitating cross-culturalcommunication and collaboration among people from different nations. I will

address the importance of cultural interaction, the benefits members gain whenthey share cultural topics as well as the difficulties that may be encountered to

communicate and collaborate with members from different cultural backgrounds.

I intend to show threads that illustrate how cultural interaction helps to bridge thecommunication gap, and helps to promote peace. Therefore, I appreciate yoursupport to make this presentation about your project successful by giving

suggestions of what threads you think would reflect the cultural interaction andcollaboration. If you participate in any discussions with members from othercultures, would you kindly share with us:

1. What are the benefits you gained from cross cultural

interaction?

2. What difficulties have you encountered?

3. Have you observed any cultural conflicts?

4. How do you think projects like OWCp that engage

members from different cultures can promote peace

and increase global understanding?

5. What message do you wish to convey to the Culture of

Peace Conference audience? Would you write a short

message in this thread, and I will make sure it will be

posted and/or read to the audience

I have arranged with the TESOL Organization the possibility of providing Web-

conferencing tools to conduct this presentation Live with OWCp members from USA,

Middle East, Europe, and Asia. When we get all these questions answered and

discussed, we will select members who are willing to share their experience about

online cultural interaction and how it positively or negatively impacted their views

and understanding of others.
