About breakingperceptions
In the summer of 2009 Cortez Alexander from Chicago and Robyn Williamson from London both took part in a programme that involved bringing together groups of young people from London, the USA and Iraq to learn about each other's cultures and break down any stereotypes and misconceptions. During this programme everyone realised that global communication, particularly among young people is essential and that young people from anywhere around the world can speak to one another and build positive relationships. 6 months later, while hoping to spread this message to others, the blog Breaking Perceptions was created. This blog will enhance global communication and approach the subjects that may be considered 'taboo' in some countries, such as women's rights, religion, diversity, equality, racism, globalisation and capitalism.
