ORGANIZATION

One World 2011 is a global project that aims to build bridges of understanding and reestablish cultural awareness between Muslim nations and the United States. By sharing knowledge and experiences, establishing common ground, and forging new relationships and partnerships, we can help ensure a strong global economy and security for the next generation. This mission will be achieved by hosting a series of multi-national cultural and sports events beginning in Seattle and the Puget Sound Area in Washington, in September 2011, ten years after the devastating events of September 11, 2001. Another series of events will follow in a selected Muslim country in 2013. Visit www.oneworld2011. org for more information.
