"There are people everywhere who form a Fourth World, or a diaspora of their own....
They can be Christians or Hindus or Muslims or Jews or pagans or atheists. They can be young or old, men or women, soldiers or pacifists, rich or poor. They may be patriots, but they are never chauvinists.... When you are among them you know you will not be mocked or resented, because they will not care about your race, your faith, your sex or your nationality....
They are exiles in their own communities, because they are always in a minority, but they form a mighty nation, if they only knew it...."
- Jan Morris

You are invited to join Breakfast Conversations over
breakfast at the Red Vic. Breakfast Conversations bring together diverse
people around topics that matter in their own lives and in the world. They include
guest travelers and members of the local community, both invited and drop-in.
Each informal Breakfast
Conversation (of 4 to 9 people) has a broad theme (global citizenship,
travel insights, environment, for example.) It begins with participants in turn, telling their names and where they
are from, and sharing briefly what is in their hearts and on their minds
regarding the theme. From there the
conversation takes off spontaneously and even when it is formally ended, new
friends often linger, perhaps meeting again later in the day or week.
You are invited to start your own World Conversations back home.
World Conversations are held
at appointed times in hotels, cafes, any public place where travelers and
locals gather anywhere in the world. Let us know how we can help you to further worldwide dialog and bring
strangers together so we are strangers no more.
You can find Conversation
Cafes by checking on-line calendars at www.conversationcafe.org.
