Thesis

Mundo aims for children to be introduced to diversity from a young age so they learn to accept other people. We believe that if children learn to understand & appreciate different cultures they will be more likely to grow up to be more accepting as an adult. Mundo also shows children 9-11 that people who come from different cultures & backgrounds from all over the world can live together and create a harmonious community.
