Instruction

Diversity is part of the world we live in. Think of how each individual event or roles you hold makes you view the world in your own unique way. In this challenge, you would go through an introduction to the concept of Diversity and learn some key terms and mental frameworks in order to be a more diverse and inclusive person!

 

This activity is designed and developed in consultation with a diverse group of people from different backgrounds, faiths, and affiliations.

We endeavour to present this activity in a neutral and balanced manner.
