Outlines:

In a framework of power dynamics and competition, Diversity is among the most fragile elements. “Otherness” can be perceived as obstacle for self-growth, progress, success, and even safety.

Let’s discuss together how we can make, in times or crisis, from valuing Diversity a path for success and inclusive safety.
