1. Respect and Empathy
No Bullying or Harassment: Treat all members with kindness and respect, regardless of their cultural background. Any form of bullying, harassment, or intimidation will not be tolerated.

2. Supportive Environment
Encourage Each Other: Offer support and encouragement to fellow members. Celebrate their achievements and be a source of strength during challenging times.
Validate Experiences: Every member's story is unique and valuable. Listen actively and validate their experiences without judgment or dismissal, appreciating the global diversity of experiences.
Focus on Commonalities
Build Connections: Focus on what unites us rather than what divides us. Seek to understand and appreciate the shared human experience across cultures.
Collaborate and Share: Engage in discussions that promote collaboration and mutual learning. Share your insights and be open to others' perspectives, recognizing the global context.
Deep, Meaningful Conversations
Go Beyond the Surface: Engage in deep conversations that foster personal growth and community building. Be willing to explore and reflect on your own beliefs and behaviors.
