About Embracing our Differences
Embracing Our Differences uses the power of art and education to celebrate acceptance, inclusion and kindness.
Every year, they organize a large-scale exhibition of juried art projects submitted by schools from all around the world, to create awareness and promote diversity. The display reflects the artists' interpretations of the theme "enriching lives through diversity." Taking part in this initiative is a process and a holistic experience, for teachers and students to expand consciousness through creating art.
Embracing Our Differences also proposes age-appropriate educational resources and guidance (lesson plans, workshop, field trips...) to promote discussions around upstander values and anti-racism, and to embrace diversity through art, reading and creative experience.
Discover the transformative power of artwork to educate and inspire the creation of a better world for all.
