Cultural Diversity

Cultural diversity is a system of beliefs and behaviors that recognizes and respects the presence of all diverse groups in society, acknowledges and values socio-cultural differences and encourages and enables their sustainable contributions in the context of an inclusive culture that empowers all people. This cultural diversity is the most important source for building continuity for individuals, communities and countries. A culture can influence what one generation chooses to teach or pass on to the next so that the culture is not lost to time.
