Coordinated by UNESCO 'World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development' is observed on 21st May every year. UNESCO Chief, Audrey Azoulay, has called upon everyone to celebrate cultural diversity to build the intellectual and moral solidarity of humankind.
UNESCO believes that every learner matters equally, and inclusive education can work to identify all barriers to education and remove them and covers everything from curricula to pedagogy and teaching.
