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?

For educators, it is now more important than ever to embed diverse cultures in the curriculum and embody multiculturalism and respect, making these values an integral part of the school’s culture.

At Amity Amsterdam, we believe that every member of our community is of equal value and worth.
