Get Involved
We Believe that Engagement Can Take Many Forms
It is about questioning the preconceptions, biases and behaviors that we all have, consciously or unconsciously. It is also about deconstructing the representations we have of others to find what unites us and makes us all human.
Start the Conversation
To get involved, you can start by having the conversation about discrimination with your family and social circle.
