What is “Common Activity”?
After establishing BRIDGE CLUB (BC), the members do a lot of activities doing their best, such as “donation”,
“education program”, “cleaning activity” and more.
And now BCIO thinks that it is better to have a common activity among all BCs aiming at the same goal. BCIO intends to decide the activity during the Peace Ambassador (PA) Program with all the PAs.
[Past Activities]
The underway common activity is as follows.
2011 Common Activity
Everyday Ambassadors
What is the Common Activity?
A social media campaign challenging people to live as Everyday Ambassadors. This campaign embraces the power of the internet, word of mouth, and photography to spread this message around the world.
What is the Message we are trying to spread?
An Everyday Ambassador is anyone and everyone who looks beyond the boundaries of their country/region and recognizes and appreciates the diversities of the other cultures and peoples of the world. An Everyday Ambassador also has great pride in their ethnic and national background and shares aspects of their culture with others. They keep an open mind to new ways of thinking and connect with people near and far. They are not just citizens of our own countries, but also citizens of the world.
Why is important to be Everyday Ambassadors?
Now, more than ever, people are constantly immigrating and emigrating from continent to continent, from country to country, and from community to community. The high frequency of human integration provides countless opportunities to interact with others of different backgrounds. Everyday Ambassadors have a global perspective that can allow us to embrace other people and cultures.
The Objectives
- To challenge people to live as Everyday Ambassadors. Please spread the word! Participants do not have to be BC members; they can be family, friends, business associates, or anyone who wants to join!
