In December 2002, the United Nations General Assembly declared 21st May as World Day for Cultural Diversity, for Dialogue and Development. A day that provides an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to learn to live and work together better. To help celebrate this World Day and to encourage people and organisations around the world to take action to support diversity, Babel would like to suggest ten simple things you can do to celebrate World Day for Cultural Diversity (even if you choose one!).

"We really enjoyed the workshop. To be honest I was a little bit sceptical beforehand but any thoughts like that were very quickly banished, and certain subjects were discussed that I hadn’t even thought about. We both got a lot out of the day and would highly recommend to everyone."

"Each year the Babel module is rated 'outstanding' by our graduates. They feel really engaged and encouraged to learn and although some of them may have studied these topics at university, they have never experienced the content within such a multi-cultural group and the advice offered by top trainers. The graduates are excited to network with fellow colleagues from different offices and cultures and Babel's programme enables us to do this perfectly."
