At VU cultural diversity is
[text on placards held by staff and students]
It's about empathy and cultural inclusivity
It's about creating opportunities
At VU it's having over 90 different cultures represented
It's about challenging stereotypes
It's learning about cultural perspectives
It's feeling free to wear my hijab
It's about valuing our differences
It's about seeing your culture through someone else's eyes
It's being accessible
It's about being respectfully curious
At VU it's about speaking over 200 languages
It's not about the accent, it's about real communication
It's about questioning our own sense of cultural identity
It's being authentic
It's about trying new foods and learning about their significance
At VU it's being on campus with teachers who look like me
It's about knowing that we all have a rick cultural background
It's getting past labels of 'faith', 'colour', 'age', 'gender'
It's about learning how to engage with peers
It's being genuinely interested in our differences and commonalities
It's about embracing new ideas, experiences and ways of doing things
It's about creating a comfortable place for all of us - not just some of us
It's what makes me - 'me'!
It's about working together
It's about humanity
It's about celebrating who we are
It's a lifelong journey of discovery
It's our VU advantage
It's about what make us - us!
Cultural diversity - what does it mean to you?
