Important announcement

AS OF 14 SEPTEMBER 2005 WE HAVE CLOSED THE INTERCULTURAL PLATFORM

Dear visitors,

This platform will be closed for new contributions as of Septemper 14, 2005. We will freeze the site, but the works of all the existing contributors will still be accessible.

It got more difficult for me to maintain the site due to the work load of my business. This site was my first venture on the internet and lies close to my heart.

But I have to move on. I want to thank all the wonderful writers and artists who have contributed to this intercultural project.

Keep on expressing yourself!

Thank you.

Editor

My name is Adriaan Boiten (b. 1958, Gemini) and I am a historian. Currently, I am self employed. I'm also working as a volunteer for several foundations aimed at stimulating sustainable development.

I believe in cultural diversity and communication and hope that this site will contribute to mutual understanding. This Intercultural Platform is part of a Global Vision Platform, aiming at improving lifestyles and sharing knowledge. Let's unite in a global conversation as part of a networked community!
