Global Diversity Month

October is Global Diversity Month – a time to celebrate the positive impact that diverse cultures and beliefs can have on a community. It’s also a time to reflect on the obstacles and barriers to diversity and look for ways to overcome them.

This month is a great time to seek out and promote diverse experiences. Try a new cuisine, listen to music from another culture, watch a foreign film or learn a foreign language.

And inclusion is key to the power of diversity. To benefit from a diverse population, we need to support a culture of inclusion where everyone feels respected, included and encouraged to participate in our community. A great way to do this is to look for – and listen to – different perspectives and opinions.
