GLOBAL DIVERSITY AWARENESS MONTH
After the Second World War, The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly at the Palais de Chaillot, in Paris. It is an acknowledgment for us to remember the value of each human being.
This upcoming October (or any time of year!), celebrate Global Diversity Awareness Month and pay tribute to the diverse minds and beliefs held by cultures around the globe. We live in a multicultural society and understanding the values of various cultures only strengthens our appreciation of others. Open your mind to new views and ideas, appreciate our differences, and enjoy a fresh perspective you may have been missing. It helps us all become true citizens of the world.
Global Diversity Awareness Month represents the perfect opportunity to explore some of the amazing diversity that makes this world such a wonderful place.
