In observance of World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue annually observed on May 21, today's #PeaceTuesday conversations on Why Cultural Diversity is Important for Peace with additional spotlight on top tips on how individuals can take concrete action to support the cause

Culture is that which shapes us; it shapes our identity and influences our behavior. Culture is our shared language, beliefs, values, norms, behaviors, and material objects that are passed down from one generation to the next.

This is a vital step towards building a peaceful future. One of the most important things we can do is educating ourselves on culture, languages and religion pluralism.
