Alwaleed Philanthropies (AP), chaired by HRH Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Al Saud, launched their latest innovative initiative on the metaverse, a centre that combines multiple virtual spaces to provide users with an unparalleled digital and cultural experience. AP launched the centre during the International Day for Tolerance.

The initiative is in line with AP’s mission to bridge the gap between cultures and forge the way for global communities to become more open and tolerant, utilising the latest disruptive 3D technology to spread their message throughout the world to connect with the younger generation.

The experience will be live on the Decentraland platform where attendees can explore the multi-story building showcasing elements of historical stories while linking diversified cultures together. The development of the digital experience was inspired by AP’s mandate since their founding over four decades ago to build, and nurture tolerance across humanity.

Our commitment to mankind, is to permanently be on the lookout for innovative approaches as we build connections for better cultural understanding as well as boundless tolerance. At Alwaleed Philanthropies, we initiate and collaborate, to come together for good deeds, through cooperating with a range of philanthropic, governmental and educational organisations to combat poverty, empower women and youth, develop communities, provide disaster relief and create cultural understanding”, said HRH Princess Lamia bint Majed Al Saud, Secretary General of Alwaleed Philanthropies.
