It’s important now more than ever to come together as citizens of the world and rejoice in our shared commonalities as well as our differences. Share something unique about which your home country and the teams you’ll be cheering for. If you’ve been to Rio or another city that’s hosted the Olympics, share a snapshot. Or Tell us about a time you broke down a cultural barrier.

We’re joined by guest judges @missjetsetter and @sezgiolgac! Head to their feeds for inspiration, and follow the instructions below for a chance to be featured on our Instagram feed:

The chaos is astounding as millions of people depart the Bishwa Itjema with every inch of train occupied by a passenger. Yet despite the crush of people, cooperation remains the defining characteristic of the crowd. / @passionpassport #PPOneWorld
