Welcome to Border encuentro!

 

Border encuentro activities consist of events in which people from both sides of the San Diego/Tijuana border meet through the border fence on the beach or at Friendship Park at the San Diego/Tijuana border.

Our goal is to bring people together by finding a theme that has no borders, often has a direct effect on improving the region, and always results in friendships across cultural boundaries.

We are looking for orgs and people who want to do a common interest theme event (yoga, salsa dancing, poetry, language learning, gardening, sign language, new ideas??) that will encourage people getting to know each other across barriers at Friendship Park in 2012. Do you have a Passion for something in life? You can have an event that embraces and shares your passion across boundaries. Contact us today at borderencuentro@gmail.com and help form the Border encuentro calendar for 2012.
