What is Inclusion?
What is Inclusion? It is belonging to a community where every individual feels valued, respected, and supported, regardless of their background, abilities, or perspectives. Inclusion means creating an environment where diverse voices are heard and differences are celebrated, fostering a culture of empathy and understanding. It involves active efforts to ensure that everyone has equal opportunities to participate, contribute, and thrive. By embracing inclusion, we build stronger, more vibrant communities where everyone has the chance to reach their full potential and positively impact the world around them.
