CELEBRATING DIFFERENCES—- What can we learn from a small Island nation 1,200 miles off the coast of Africa? A nation with five distinct societies, four major religions, and nine spoken languages? In Mauritius: Celebrating Differences, we will journey to the isolated island of Mauritius. It is here where a fascinating multicultural society flourishes. A society that values differences as strengths, and diversity as the fundamental key to problem-solving. Mauritius offers timeless insights designed to create an environment where people subordinate "mine" for "ours," and "now" for "the future," by recognizing the power of diversity. Handouts will be provided. Ed O'Connell to facilitate.
