The World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development on May 2 provides a time for reflection and celebration of not only our own culture, but of those around us as well. According to the UN, “cultural diversity is a driving force of development, not only with respect to economic growth, but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling intellectual, emotional, moral and spiritual life. This is captured in the culture conventions, which provide a solid basis for the promotion of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is thus an asset that is indispensable for poverty reduction and the achievement of sustainable development.” So, take the day and celebrate what makes us all unique.
