Who We Are - AINM Foundation
Our Vision
Equity, inclusion, access, and justice can be advanced in, and through, arts and culture. The dignity of a broad, complex spectrum of human creative expression must be recognized and respected.
If you’re unsure how you can take action to do so, consider these ideas:
- Interact with people outside of your culture
- Be open-minded to listen and let go of judgment
- Accept that differences are beneficial and not harmful
- Travel the world as much as you can to take part in cultures and understand them from the source
- Learn a new language and communicate in a friend’s native language rather than your own
- Attend the Atlanta International Night Market, promoting cultural diversity! atlnightmarket.org
Benefits Of Cultural Diversity
The world is naturally multicultural. Approaching cultural diversity with a mindset and actions that embrace this fact leads to many benefits, like:
- Compassion: Communication and understanding of differences leads to increased compassion instead of judgment.
- Innovation: Varied perspectives and lens of looking at the world lend to innovative thinking.
- Productivity: People who come together and bring their own style of working together tend to support a more productive team.
- New Opportunities: The diversity opens the door to new opportunities and the blending of ideas which would otherwise have been homogeneous.
- Problem-Solving: Challenges are layered, so having people with different backgrounds can lead to better problem-solving with richness of opinions.
