The Gift of Being Different
SLCC 2300
Abstract: "The Gift of Being Different" is a presentation that promotes the idea that everyone has unique views, beliefs, and backgrounds. By embracing our differences and respecting others, we can learn from each other and gain new perspectives. This can lead to new ways of thinking, new opportunities, and a better understanding of different cultures, religions, ethnicities, sexualities, and more. This workshop can help us break out of our own biases and learn something new about the world we live in.
