What is Diversity?
Diversity concerns difference. This can be thought of in terms of the values, beliefs and perspectives on life that people have. Diversity has always existed in our society, there have always been people of different ages, abilities, religious beliefs, cultures etc but in recent times our society has become more and more diverse. Diversity can be a positive thing but it can sometimes cause problems. We want to know about young people’s experiences of diversity good and bad.
What we mean by ‘encounters with diversity’ is very wide indeed but it might be, for example, that you encountered someone culturally different from yourself (e.g. they belonged to a different religion, they came from a different country or they were of a different ‘race’ or social group). We would either like you to tell us in your own words about an encounter with diversity that you have had and what you learned, if anything, from the experience.
If you haven’t had an encounter with diversity, don’t worry you can still participate, just tell us why you think you haven’t. For example this may be because the community you live in is small or that you haven’t had many opportunities to meet people from a different background to that of your own.
