GLOMADO (GLObal MAkers and DOers) is an online learning platform that offers live, real-time, hands-on, small-group cultural Workshops, led by passionate artisans from around the world. We were born out of the mission to give people of all backgrounds and ages the ability to explore the world in an affordable, constructive, and accessible way. While world travel is often life-changing, it’s not always within reach. We created GLOMADO in 2019 to make authentic cultural connection and exploration attainable for everyone, everywhere. Our Learners and Instructors meet virtually from across the globe to participate in culturally rooted work, and both parties leave with a new sense of connectedness and cultural understanding. Each Workshop weaves yet another thread into the loom of global connection. In an age of growing distance, we want to build bridges over walls, combat fear with connection, and replace judgement with curiosity.
