How Do We Promote Diversity & Multicultural Awareness in Our Education in 6 Steps?

According to philosopher McLuhan, we are living in a “Global Village”. But how does this impact students’ learning, and how do we promote diversity and multicultural awareness in our school now that tools like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok make it easier to learn about other countries and cultures?

Many of our students come from diverse backgrounds and traditions, and they are also exposed to cultures from all over the world.
