Heartbeat of the WorldCELEBRATING CULTURAL DIVERSITY and UNIVERSAL PARALLELS
Heartbeat of the World is a new Alaska World Arts project working to produce a documentary film that inspires youth to appreciate diversity and interconnectedness by highlighting universal parallels.
We envision emerging generations that appreciate cultural diversity as a driving force to collaborate, communicate, and address our world's challenges effectively for positive change. |
Building a Better Future for Our Youth
At the center of the Universe is a loving heart that continues to beat and that wants the best for every person. Anything that we can do to help foster the intellect and spirit and emotional growth of our fellow human beings, that is our job. Those of us who have this particular vision must continue against all odds. Life is for service.

Youth Advisory Team
This team of young adults are New Zealand residents coming from a variety of ethnic and linguistic backgrounds and are involved in broadly diverse areas of study. They have chosen activities and academic pathways that reflect their empathy for people and the environment and their passion for knowledge. |
We greatly appreciate the generosity of Nona Morris, Director of Educational Programmes at EarthDiverse for organizing our Youth Advisory Team. EarthDiverse is a New Zealand-based non-profit charitable organization that provides community-based diversity education across a range of disciplines for youth, adults, NGOs and governmental organizations.
