Multicultural Playing Field (MPF), LLC was founded in 2003 to promote the importance of global education for children worldwide, an idea that grew in response to the 9/11 attacks that shook the world. With the support of Intercultural Business Center, Inc., which has 20 years of accumulated know-how in this field, the engine of this international partnership is a group of professionals all active in different aspects of the global arena, but who share the same mission. MPF is currently developing its activities in the USA, Japan and Singapore, and hopes to expand to the rest of the world..
Multicultural tolerance is the new 21st century imperative.
If the world is to maximize the opportunities and mitigate the dangers of the “Global Village” we have to better understand the cultural ‘DNA’ of each region of the world. We emphasize that there is no “cultural” right or wrong, black or white. Rather, that there are many different perspectives held across the world’s diverse population that often have a valid place in their home environment.
Our goal is to help foster a paradigm shift, away from a single, rigidly local, mentality, to one of international appreciation that fosters friendships, avoids conflict, spreads peace, expands the variety of one's life, and creates business across borders. We are beginning with a learning map product together with an accompanying Teaching Guide CD ROM. Complementary books, DVDs and games will follow. Each map is presently available in English, Japanese and Arabic.
The initial map, a prototype for our future products, illustrates an imaginary roller coaster ride through a pathway we call The “Ten Steps to Reach the Global Village”
™.. Each step develops a greater awareness of the world and its cultural segments, and guides us how to see all of its people through multicultural lenses.
For those who’d like to raise their children to be global-scale thinkers and action takers, please ask your children:
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BUILDING A GLOBAL VILLAGE WITH OTHER
CHILDREN IN THE WORLD?
