In November of 2001, the United Nations General Assembly decided to declare May 21 as “World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development”.
Cultural diversity is a valuable resource for attaining development goals
Our cultural diversity is the common heritage of humanity. It is a source of renewal of ideas and societies, through which we open up to others and craft new ways of thinking. This diversity provides opportunities for peace and sustainable development.
