October 12th, also known as the Day of Races or the Day of Cultures, is celebrated in the American continent to commemorate the discovery of the well-known explorer Cristobal Colon.

However, over the years, the main reason for this holiday has gradually changed into a celebration of the mix of cultures that’s been experienced all over America.

Costa Rica is not the exception. It enjoys a great cultural diversity, being the home of more than 47 nationalities. Our home, the Peninsula of Nicoya is a key place for interculturalism in our country and Futuro Verde is not left behind.

Here, in Futuro Verde, we share with more than 30 different nationalities among teachers, staff and families. We celebrate a diversity of cultures every day, always cultivating respect and tolerance towards others.
