Efforts to eliminate difference and impose the will of the majority drive far too many of today’s conflicts.
Joe Clark, 16th Prime Minister of Canada and Bience Gawanas, Special Advisor to Minister of Health and Social Services, Namibia. Special for Globe & Mail.
Diversity is not the problem. Negative responses to diversity are the problem. Against this backdrop, it is important to highlight the efforts of people who are choosing a different path. Pluralism is the deliberate choice by governments, civil-society organizations and individuals to treat diversity as an asset rather than an automatic liability. The Global Pluralism Award, a new prize offered by the Global Centre for Pluralism, was envisioned by the Aga Khan, chair of the centre’s board, as a way to celebrate extraordinary examples of pluralism in action.
