There are millions of people who want to make the world a better place, many of them are under 18 years old. Since 2002, Others Are Us programs have been helping young people in more than ten countries have a voice in shaping the discourse on the future of our planet and its people.
Technology enables Others Are Us to bring children and teens from different countries and cultures together in an extended international exhange of art and written communications. Our program model consists of guided activities that help young people:* identify misconceptions and stereotypes 
* examine their own lives and cultures
* recognize challenges they share with
other young people around the world
* develop drawings focused on content, detail
and effective visual communication techniques
* read and analyze exchanged drawings to discover common ground and understand cultural differences
* extend their insights to others through exhibitions, presentations, social media, and film
The result is a more tolerant population of young global citizens who understand their place in the world and are prepared to play a significant role in positively shaping its future.
