About DiverCity

Diverse + city = a youth club for the culturally curious

Are you a secondary school student passionate about community service but struggle to get funding for anything more exciting than elderly visits?

Do you wonder why the UN never ever seems to escalate beyond strongly-worded statements?

Do you ever wonder if the values you hold are truly your own or just products of your culture? Well, that got kind of dark.

If any of these sound like you, good news: DiverCity is just the youth club for you!
