Discord ) by sharing our own beliefs and cultures with one another while respecting each other https://padlet.com/schooloflife22/session2/wish/2202063201 2022-05-27 10:42:22 UTC https://padlet.com/schooloflife22/session2/wish/2202063201 Embracing Diversity steprocmails https://padlet.com/schooloflife22/session2/wish/2202355895 I initiated the conversations regardless of the community.. I approached people and took the first step in starting the conversation.. I spent some online talking with my friends of friends and it opened a lot of gates]]> 2022-05-27 16:00:16 UTC https://padlet.com/schooloflife22/session2/wish/2202355895 Session 2 https://padlet.com/schooloflife22/session2/wish/2202884618 This has got to be one of my favorite learnings by far.

I study in a big university, and the existence of a great diversity is never in question here.

Through my learnings today, I am reminded of love.

As a student leader who has miles and miles of things to do in my everyday task checklist, it is inevitable to at times lose patience and experience burnout with my social battery at 0%.

However, through this lesson, I am reminded of why I do this in the first place. Because I love what I'm doing, and I love who I'm doing it for.

Now more than ever, I am reminded to always culture the love I have for all the people around me. And this is the number 1 key that helps me embrace the diversity in my community in each day.

we all are humans
we have the same organs and the same basis of life: survive
we all have to put our diffirences aside and focus on the much bigger picture
whether you are a diffirent religion
you are gay 
you are trans
you are straight
you are cis
you are black
you are white
you are asian

we all are humans.]]> 2022-05-28 17:59:09 UTC https://padlet.com/schooloflife22/session2/wish/2203065314 Session 2 https://padlet.com/schooloflife22/session2/wish/2203268787 I tried to show the people around me and myself that what makes each one different is what makes each one beautiful. No one is the same but we all have beautiful things within us that we can share with the world, making it a better place. And as for the things we consider as bad qualities or habits, I’m usually encouraging myself and others to work on them to become even better people.

I started joining each breaking the rules which unacceptable from a lot. 
It’s need love courage to cross the border and to get out of your comfort zone.
I had been out of Sudan for years, when I came back I saw a lot of things had changed and the gaps between people became bigger than yesterday. I knew the religious tolerance only in the papers and lips and I start by myself to practice it.

Personally, i embrace diversity by talking to everyone without being a racist person and without caring about their looks (race, color , etc.) because the inside what is really matter . I talk to people from different countries online and it is the best thing ever because I love knowing about the differences in their culture and believes .


07-JO-Sewar]]> 2022-05-29 05:39:14 UTC https://padlet.com/schooloflife22/session2/wish/2203279337 I experienced diversity from the international schools that I attended since when I was a child where I meet kids with different imaginations, aspirations and beliefs along with different culture where you can learn how to listen, respect and love each other where you end up calling your classmates from a stranger children to your ride and die friends and become part of your beautiful collection of your memory. At last they become part of your guidance, support and passion as well as reason to live and be more curious. That's how diversity impact in your life and how it can be a great impact on the community. https://padlet.com/schooloflife22/session2/wish/2203316333 2022-05-29 07:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/schooloflife22/session2/wish/2203316333 Session 2 https://padlet.com/schooloflife22/session2/wish/2203321232 lets talk about what diversity mean in general  It means inclusion for everyone ,an equal space for everyone to be seen and showcase their talents
So Personally I embrace adversity by talking with people online and learning about thier differences also really taking Time to listen to them and  respecting them no matter what race they are or whatever religion they believe in whatever disability they may have whether it’s a man or a women beacause I know that we’re all unique in Different ways so dont look down on others no matter what just treat everyone equally  I think that’s very important
I have always embraced diversity in my life giving Opportunities Regardless of race age Physical capability’s and so on
We are not the same but we all have beautiful things to share together
like these sessions we are having they are a big part of embracing diversity because here we’re all people from all over the world from different places different cultures so we sit and talk for hours we respect each other's opinions and we learn together so I think that’s a very big part of the embracing diversity

I have realized that building bridges combine people together which means we should build more bridges to be close to eachothers and that we should stop building walls and break them . What i mean by walls is the things that stop you from trying it meet new people it could be (anxiety, scared of being judged, insecure etc..).

Diversity is also about recognizing, respecting, and valuing differences based on ethnicity, gender, age, race, religion, or disability. I learned that peace is a very important thing in our daily lives,
peace means loving one another, and don't create walls between each other but instead creating bridges because walls will block you from approaching someone while bridges are available for everyone and no one is meant to be blocked 
they also mentioned something important wich was that everyone is the same, it doesn't matter their religion color or races 
everyone will meet the same fate, so there's no need to disunite everyone because i am me when you are you. so be yourself.
not to mention that talking to people from all around the world whether from these meetings or online, really has made my sense of diversity stronger, also knowing their backgrounds is really fascinating to me, so getting to know people from all around the world is something that's so SO cool :).]]> 2022-05-29 08:15:01 UTC https://padlet.com/schooloflife22/session2/wish/2203324923 Selfless love and Dialogue are Key berthaelhajj1996 https://padlet.com/schooloflife22/session2/wish/2203362266 I have learned to give without expecting. I also have been using dialogue as a means of communication in the family and between friends. This communication works effectively at eradicating any misinterpretation in a certain behavior or a word being said. Communication with no prejudice, based on selfless love have changed my life and made me more understanding to the points of views of others. It made me look at people as human beings instead of simply "different opinions that don't go with my beliefs". This experience is so enriching because in a society, we can use from so many ideas from diverse people. And if we do not have the embracing diversity and dialogue mindset, we end up missing on so much.]]> 2022-05-29 09:49:41 UTC https://padlet.com/schooloflife22/session2/wish/2203362266 https://padlet.com/schooloflife22/session2/wish/2203370681 I personally try to talk to new people on the internet and in real life, I like meeting new people and I try to show them kindness.]]> 2022-05-29 10:10:44 UTC https://padlet.com/schooloflife22/session2/wish/2203370681 Dialogue sign of togetherness amujjya https://padlet.com/schooloflife22/session2/wish/2203391085 I am because you are.

We may form friendships and memories together, but life is not easy because we live in a world where our cultures differ and it shapes how we perceive those around us. One thing for certain is we are all human and we learn from our experiences. I embrace diversity in my relationship with the people I meet by looking past the surface. I try to delve deeper into learning who they are with the goal of forming a friendship that can last despite where we both come from. We may also learn from one another and find out that our similarities and interests go deeper than our skin color, sexuality, beliefs, etc. Getting to know a person and learning to accept them is the key to embracing diversity, but we must also open our minds to the possibility that we may not agree on certain things, and that is okay.

In this way, all people from different backgrounds and different walks of life will feel a sense of belongingness. However, how can we embrace diversity? For me, I try to embrace diversity by respecting other people. I also try to have meaningful conversations with them and actively listen to their insights so as to have an idea about others’ perspectives regarding different matters. Additionally, I try to be more careful with my actions to make sure that no one is offended or aggravated.

As a family member, I embrace diversity by supporting the likes and dislikes of each of my family members such as hobbies, foods, clothing, etc. As a student, I embrace diversity my adapting to the different teaching styles my professors do.  Also, as a classmate, I respect our different cultures and religion. If I have offended someone because of my action, I try to explain myself and know my it had offended him or her to changed my behavior. Thus, knowing different sides of the story addresses the issue and it creates a pathway for correctness. Lastly, as part of my community, I embrace diversity by not only respecting their traditions or culture that are not harmful but also participating on it as well or what we call in my mother tongue as PAKIKI-ISA.

To embrace diversity, one should be interested in knowing new people to learn about their cultures. 
To embrace diversity as a youth, you need to get yourself involved in any activities that gathered youths around the world. E.g. "Living Peace International" is an international volunteering group that gathers youths from different continents around the world. Such initiatives can link you up with other people around the world 🌏. Also, in your society or community, you should get yourself involved in any social activities and at your school or workplace as well.

Our "Diversity" formed the beauty of the world 🌍

In addition my parent  are big believer of equality and humanity, they taught me to always be kind, that being different is not a bad think but it's what make us unique and beautiful.

But in school, I was able to learn how to be diverse and accept the concept of diversity. With this, now that I am somehow older, I can say that I have embraced diversity basing from my friends and to the people I talk to, in which we have different backgrounds, characteristics, personality, culture, gender, color, age, religion, opinions, beliefs, and all our other differences. With this session, I learned that in embracing diversity, we must know how to respect one another and accept that we can be one despite not being the same. This would lead us towards peace.

I embrace diversity in my everyday relationship by forming bonds with other people.

I am friends with my peers and everyone of us is different but I never let that difference between us to be a reason for disagreement and argument instead I consider that as a reason for me to look at things in a different perspective, a new light or a new angle.

We have our own cultures, religions, and even philosophies. However, we sometimes forget to have the most import key - acceptance.

Embracing diversity can be seen in our daily life. My family showed me that our age doesn’t inhibit us to have an understanding and loving environment. Moreover, my friends taught me that despite having different characteristics, we were able to get along and accept each other. Lastly, being in my community helped me accept various opinions and widen my perception in life.

In our everyday lives, we get to interact with different walks of life, each with different stories to tell. So, we must learn to connect with one another rather than create divisions that hinder us from attaining peace.
