My experience was amazing! I had goose bumps and wanted to reach out and touch the screen. This is a new form of communication + A powerful concept – I really appreciate the opportunity to experience this portal to the other/self. We need more spaces where open dialogue can occur. Crossing political, cultural, geographic boundaries. These conversations remind us that we are bound more by our similarities than divided by differences. Thank you!

Profoundly beautiful...exactly what social media technology should be used for.

Amazing, incredible profoundly beautiful and connective experience. This is a terribly important art exhibit that instantly breaks down the arbitrary barriers that we put up between cultures and people. This is exactly what social media technology should be used for. It’s a beautiful, gorgeous bridge that I hope to see crossing more boundaries in the future. I am grateful and honored to be part of this art exhibit.

Inspiring and groundbreaking.

This is an amazing experience. Really works as art but as cultural diplomacy as well. Bravo!

What the Portal does, is it doesn't just give you those faces. It's not a newspaper. You feel you are right there.

It is truly amazing. If you do nothing else I ever ask you to do, just do this. What the Portal does, is it doesn't just give you those faces. It's not a newspaper. You feel you are right there.

It's an amazing technology, making it seem like you're standing right in front of me.

It seem[s] like you're standing right in front of me. It's an amazing technology, but it also represents what this summit's all about which is young people from all around the world coming up with new ideas and making those ideas a reality. See, the good thing is when I sneeze, you have no danger of catching anything. It's one of the great advantages of…[the] Portal. I am glad that I had a chance to talk to you almost in person. It feels like you're standing right there... I want to go up and shake your hand... this is great.

This is really the most meaningful work I’ve seen at Twitter ever. So inspiring and so moving.

Shared Studios Stories Portal was a unique, engaging, and rewarding experience for our conference attendees.

Shared Studios Stories Portal was a unique, engaging, and rewarding experience for our conference attendees. It was an eye-catching setup, but more importantly, it provided an opportunity for truly engaging, dynamic, and valuable interactions between people who would otherwise never had the chance to meet, share stories, support each other, ideate, etc. The conversations our attendees had with the two different groups in each Mali and Mexico were rewarding and valuable, for both parties. Watching people engage was incredibly rewarding, and our attendees felt the same having experienced the Stories Portal interactive experience.
