\u2018To protect and promote cultural diversity and expressions, I draw my inspiration from best practices in the development of appropriate responses adapted to university contexts. iRise is intended to be a collaborative and evolving instrument by sharing information that will contribute to a better understanding of diversity and conducive to keeping alive this dynamic platform.\u2019 (Dr Adone Mohd-Sarip)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2018In a world increasingly globalised through corporate interests but fragmented by war and lack of empathy, it is imperative that we foster cultural diversity in our communities, networks and institutions. This is the only way we can achieve understanding and peace. I very much hope that QUB will wake up to this through the agency of iRise.\u2019
(Dr Daniel Roberts)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u2018Too often, global conflicts have a cultural dimension, and bridging the gap between cultures and peoples through intercultural dialogue is needed more than ever in our multicultural, multiethnic, and multilingual world. Being a co-chair of QUB iRISE, I am committed to fostering the value of compassion, inclusion, and respect for others. Every effort from each of us constitutes one step further toward embracing diversity.\u2019 (Mrs. Nimmy John)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Cultural diversity is a great starting point to recognise the rich, yet complex, societies of diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. As a Language Support Officer at Queen\u2019s, I am committed to helping students and staff members primarily enhance their linguistic and intercultural awareness and sensitivity through the means of workshops, training sessions and cultural celebrations. Together, we can aim for mutual respect, equality and inclusivity.
