The World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development is celebrated every year on 21 May to recognise and rejoice the diversity among us. Here are some thoughts about that theme, and here.
********
We take as our starting point that there is a lot of work to do to promote equality, diversity, and inclusion.
We are committed to doing as much of that work as we can, both inwardly (where we to continue to improve on the strides that we are making to increase diversity and inclusion) and externally, on a much broader scale, across the sectors we work and engage in.
In this respect, we view diversity as wide ranging and intersectional, including neurodiversity, diversity of race, colour, nationality, ethnic origin, sex, gender (identity and expression), socio-economic background, sexuality, religion or belief, disability, and marital or civil partnership status.
We believe unequivocally in the inherent fairness of treating all people with equity and ensuring that they are given an effective opportunity to participate.
Visitors who do not treat others here (be they staff, other guests and visitors, or family) with respect around these considerations will be violating a fundamental principle of this place.
