Advancing respect for diversity as a new global ethic and foundation for inclusive citizenship is the mission of the Global Centre for Pluralism.

To support this mission, the Centre:

• fosters informed dialogue about the benefits of diversity as a global value proposition;
• researches the drivers and impediments of civic cohesion to understand why some diverse societies thrive while others fracture or fragment; and
• works in partnership with change leaders around the world to apply these place-based insights for practical effect.

Through these means, the Centre will serve the world community as a global destination for dialogue about the benefits and foundations of pluralism. In our increasingly interdependent world, respect for diversity and the practices that support it are not just desirable. They are vital building blocks of peace, prosperity and security for all.
