After consulting with organizations who shared the Third Millennium Foundation's goals of promoting human rights and unlearning intolerance, the Foundation came to the conclusion that one of the main aspects needed in the community was a collaboration space. Therefore the International Center for Tolerance Education was established in 2004, for the purpose of providing a space for events of all kinds for organizations who shared its goals.
Since its creation, the space has hosted photography exhibits, consortiums, staff meetings, shows, workshops, and presentations which have contributed to the strengthening of both the organizations and participants, as well as the bonds between them. Through each event connections are made, and as an effect the community grows stronger and closer to accomplishing our common goals.
