1. Promote the value of inclusion and cultural diversity
Multiculturalism is defining characteristics of societies with high rates of well-being, health, and sustainability.
Italian society is one among them with Islam being the most professed religion among immigrants (33.3%), followed by Orthodox Christianity (28.8%), and with the remaining 10% adhering to various other religions.
2. Learn a new language
Multiculturalism is a source of innovation and creativity. At Luiss, we witness the number of international students each year, highlighting our openness to multiculturalism.
Italy is home to a remarkable 31 foreign languages.
3. Seek opportunities to connect with people different from you
Just as biodiversity is essential for the ecosystem’s survival, cultural diversity is a valuable heritage to preserve. The United Nations General Assembly has championed the Universal Declaration of Cultural Diversity and annually observes World Day for Cultural Diversity, Dialogue, and Development.
Engaging in conversations with individuals from various countries, cultures, and backgrounds is always enriching.
4. Contribute to breaking down stereotypes and discrimination through your actions
Interfaith dialogue promotes peaceful coexistence in our increasingly multicultural societies. Currently, there are more than 2.3 billion Christians, 1.9 billion Muslims and 1.16 billion Hindus worldwide. There are more than 500 million Buddhists and 430 million adherents of regional ethnic-based religions. It is important to gain knowledge about different histories, cultures, and religions because only through understanding and respecting religious freedom can we dismantle stereotypes and discrimination.
5. Cultivate your creativity
Creativity is closely tied to enhancing an individual’s psychological well-being and health.
Engaging in creative activities involves cognitive, emotional, and social factors, promoting openness to new experiences, flexibility, autonomy, and tolerance.
