“Bridging Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB)

through Multilingualism and Cultural Understanding”

This year’s theme will be exploring the intersections of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) with the rich tapestry of languages and cultures. This event aims to delve into the ways in which language and cultural understanding can foster inclusivity, dismantle barriers, and promote a more equitable society.

 Join us in creating a platform for collaboration and knowledge exchange that will inspire positive change in our global community.
