There are many cultures being globalized by big countries, and traditions are deliberately forgotten by new generations. In order to preserve the uniqueness of those cultures, we are going to create a virtual museum project about those cultures that are superseded by new cultures. Using an online platform-padlet, allows the online community to understand multiculturalism and those traditions.  The Republic of Liberia, as an example, has a lack of diversity from a cultural and economic perspective; Those minority countries are suffering from globalization and hybridization of culture, and political and economic power is pressuring those developing countries.
