Respecting Differences

People have different backgrounds, beliefs, abilities and families. Respecting differences means treating everyone fairly and being curious rather than unkind.

Learning about other cultures makes communities stronger.

Respecting differences means accepting people as they are and recognising that everyone brings something valuable. Differences make communities richer and more interesting.

Try to learn about other cultures and listen to people with different experiences. Avoid making fun of people who look or speak differently, and speak up if you see someone being treated unfairly.
