Team Leader For Virtual Volunteer Environment

Save to Favorites

For over a year, we've been doing R&D on a concept to inspire a large demographic around the world to be interested in participating in cultural exchange activities.

Why? Because we're tired of the fear, bigotry and xenophobia. We believe (and have seen from our own eyes), change happens at a local level, and by using tourism to give people who don't travel a chance to have direct contact with people from around the world, we can open people's minds, while having fun!

How? We don't call them cultural exchanges! We call them MIXs (Mutual Interest eXchanges), which are themed activities (Food MIXs, Music MIXs & Photography Walk MIXs, etc.). When people connect because of a shared interest, they're much more likely to overcome their prejudices and preconceptions

The elements of a MIX are:

• Small groups (max of 8 participants),
• Always a moderator present (helps with language barriers, encourages a healthy exchange)
• Always in a public space for ease of mind (parks, cultural/social centers, hostels, etc.)

Strategy:
We are building a website that will function as an event platform where anyone can Make A MIX or Find A MIX in their city, or a city they're traveling too. We have a few web developers now, but we really need more help!


We've tested on three continents, we are now getting ready for our soft launch in up to 20 countries and we need all the help we can get.
