Setting the Scene

Tolerance, intercultural dialogue and respect for diversity are more essential than ever in a world where peoples are becoming more and more closely interconnected.

Kofi Annan

Differences are not intended to separate, to alienate. We are different precisely in order to realize our need for one another.

Desmond Tutu

Diversity: the art of thinking independently, together.

Malcom Forbes
