Canada’s culture draws influences from its broad range of constituent nationalities, and policies that promote a “just society” are constitutionally protected. Canada has placed emphasis on equality and inclusiveness for all its people. Multiculturalism is often cited as one of Canada’s significant accomplishments, and a key distinguishing element of Canadian identity. In Quebec, cultural identity is strong, and there is a French Canadian culture that is distinct from English Canadian culture. However, as a whole, Canada is, in theory, a cultural mosaic—a collection of regional ethnic subcultures. Wikipedia

ZO is a forum and hopes that its community will engage in civilly discussing what is happening on Earth and, most importantly, how we can all peacefully dwell together. While we do not engage in direct discussions nor publish material that is essentially political, religious, distinctly racial, cultural or related to special social movements – our participants and community are deep thinkers, often passionately persuaded about these matters personally. We are trying to establish ZO as a neutral ground for the enjoyment of art. We focus on positive art forms in an effort to bridge the difficulties between the many beautiful and diverse people in our often challenging world.

COUNTRY SPONSORS can highlight arts in their country and we are looking forward to their input to help us get the “BIG PICTURE” of what’s happening artistically around the globe.
We have not yet launched ZO’s campaign for Country Sponsorship. It will be available to individuals and businesses working in the creative arts and sponsorship is quite a bit more than for the cities offered to the public through our web portal. We want to know the people that are sponsoring Countries so that we can all make it a valuable connection for all of us. If you would like to go a little deeper with us and sponsor a Country, please write us at [email protected] and let us know what you do creatively and which country you may be interested in.
Creativity is the ability to bring thought into existence.
ZO absolutely believes that everyone has a measure of creativity and that by applying it to every area of our lives, massive change is possible. We encourage all that we meet to reflect on these inner abilities and to develop creatively as much as you are able.
By supporting our efforts through this sponsorship campaign, you are allowing us to connect to more creative souls and we are thrilled to make all of these connections on the basis of our planet’s geography. We believe that this is a connection of the heart.
Whether your sponsorship is for yourself, for your creative business enterprise, or for a Hero or Shero that is still with us (or In Celebration of one who has gone before), we believe in the eternal spirit of all that we do. What has been done before, affects us, and what we will do will affect the next generations. Thank you so much for your support. We wish you an overflow of creativity!
