 The San Diego Participant Observer 

Do you like to travel and learn about different cultures? Now you can do it while living in San Diego.

The San Diego Participant Observer is an online magazine that provides information about cultural events, books, movies, cuisines, recipes, news; practically anything connected to cultures around the world. It has been published by the Worldview Project, a non-profit organization, which was founded in 2001.

Volunteer contributors cull the multicultural news every week to gather articles worldwide, and produce a newsletter every Friday that they send to your mail box if you sign up. You can also follow them on Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn.

The online magazine also welcomes volunteers. On their website, the calendar feature gives you dates and locations of many multicultural events in San Diego. Under Cultural Tidings readers can find interesting articles from around the world. On the right side of the page under Articles and Features they present highlights from the current edition. This time there is an article about San Diego’s Chicano Park.

Their new Book Club invites the interested public to read a book and meet once a month to discuss it. The mother organization, The Worldview Project organizes an International Music and Dance Festival for the 4th year now. This year it will take place on September 20th.

This is a very rich source of cultures, literature and music for anybody who wouldn't want to miss multicultural events in San Diego.
