What does diversity mean to you?
“Diversity is based on mutual understanding, which can only develop through respectful dialogue. As a white cis man with migratory history, it means one thing above all for me: listening to others. It is extremely important to me to recognize different perspectives and to question my own privileges with a lot of self-reflection.”
