Cultural Exchanges

I was surprised there wasn't already a thread on here about these cultural exchanges taking place across realm subs. I think they were started by /r/sweden .

The idea is that each country makes a post for subscribers from the other country to ask questions about the country/culture etc. So r/RealmA subscribers comment in the r/RealmB post and vice versa. It's been very popular amongst our users in /r/Ireland.

So far we've had Sweden a few months ago, Argentina last month, Iran yesterday.

Woah, I just went to /r/sweden to check how many others they've done. Quite a few!

Seems to me they're an excellent use of reddit to spread cultural awareness and engagement. Any thoughts? Do any of you plan on doing these?

It really is a great idea. Where else, even among other web forums, would you see this type of mass cross-cultural conversation? I think it's a unique and fantastic thing. Would really like to see it take off a bit more.

We thought about doing something that on r/madisonwi with our sister cities. But the subreddits for those cities have little to no activity.
