As defined by the Global Centre for Pluralism, pluralism is an ethic of respect for diversity. Diversity in society is a fact, but how societies respond to diversity is a choice. Pluralism results from the daily decisions taken by a community to actively engage across differences and embrace difference as a strength.
Join this esteemed group of panelists as they explore, through lived experiences and discussion:
- How pluralism helps us engage with diversity
- How the arts help us transform academic perceptions of pluralism into action
- How we can practically engage in pluralism as individuals
- The program will reinforce unity through a sense of belonging, especially during this time of isolation.
