Welcome to TCN

Dear friend:

You are invited to support the idea of creating a global social network for Tunisians (Tunisian Community Network or TCN) to act as a social networking resource that connects Tunisian communities worldwide and builds tight relationships with counterparts in Tunisia. The proposed network will be lightly-managed to encourage a balanced, open, fun, and respectful culture that brings out the best in people and steers clear of extremism and political rhetoric irrespective of slant. You can support this idea by simply joining and starting to use the various networking features of this site. You also can shape this project by taking your participation to the next level: propose ideas and test your leadership mettle by building momentum to see them through.

TCN proposes to act as a networking hub for many regional expatriate communities (Europe, North America, Gulf States, Australia, etc) and interface these communities with the homeland. So, where ever you are, whether you in Tunisia or abroad, please join, invite your Facebook or other network buddies, and let’s get to know each other!

   

What Is TCN?

User Rating: / 3
PoorBest 

The Tunisian Community Network (TCN) is a virtual Tunisian grass-roots social network. It aims to be a social hub where relationships get established, where volunteer programs of community support get started, where integration issues in host countries get addressed, where second and subsequent generations build and maintain links to their Tunisian heritage, where network member businesses get promoted, and where cultural and economic bridges between Tunisia and other countries are created.

Where ever TCN has legal status, it is setup as a not-for-profit, independent and volunteer non-government organization (NGO) that does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, socio-economic status, or political affiliation. All law-abiding citizens are welcome in TCN.

 

First introduced online in June 2009, TCN is the brain-child of Jomaa Ben-Hassine, a professional civil engineer, residing in the United States. Mr. Ben-Hassine is a family man who sees such a network as a necessity for all the afore-mentioned reasons. He sees this world through a lens that filters out pessimism and lets in hope, repels extremism and encourages moderation, and favors acceptance of the other over isolation and hatred.
