This program will be carried out at a parish level to build an intercultural parish team. They will be made up of parish leadership (including the pastor) and other members of their choosing from the main cultures present at the parish. Their goals are to create partnerships with church and community leaders, follow up the experiences of encounter with small groups whose purpose is to grow in their relationship with each other and deepening their understanding by collaborating on projects involving awareness building, advocacy or action in the community.
