The festival is a gateway to various opportunities in the commercial, social, and political spheres for all involved parties. Organizers and participants are convinced that fostering cultural exchange, promoting diversity, and embracing differences can contribute significantly to global harmony and peaceful coexistence.
The primary aim of this Day of Cultural Expressions is to provide a platform for countries represented in Kenya, either through their embassy or cultural institution, to come together and present their unique cultural heritage. This initiative allows both local and international visitors to appreciate the depth of diversity while also highlighting commonalities and shared goals.
The event's objectives are clear:
- To introduce lesser-known countries, cultures, and people to the Kenyan and international public, fostering better understanding and appreciation.
- To encourage intercultural dialogue, communication, tolerance, and mutual development.
- To facilitate the exchange of cultural, social, and economic practices among participating countries.
- To promote cultural tourism and enhance cross-cultural experiences.
