Encounters with differences are becoming increasingly unavoidable. It has become unavoidable and even necessary for people to migrate, meet with people who speak different languages, practice different lifestyles, hold different perspectives, and endorse different values and worldviews. Reluctance or inability to engage genuinely with differences is the real struggle. Ignoring this challenge or rejecting pluralism altogether can have disastrous consequences and affect communities locally and globally.
This module will enable the learner to understand that honoring our own identity does not necessarily mean rejecting others’ identity. We always argue about our right ‘to be heard’ and often forget our responsibility ‘to listen’ and our proactive obligation to observe and learn. This learning platform will allow the learner to learn ways to genuinely embrace diversity as a strength and an indispensable foundation for human peace and progress.

Active listening, empathy, embracing diversity, tolerance, and respect.
