In an increasingly multicultural and globalised world, understanding cultural identity has never been more vital. With more than 200,000 years of human evolution, our capacity for culture has thrived as we journeyed from the equator to every part of the globe. We’ve learned, traded and sometimes battled with a growing and diverse global population. Today, our diversity is more significant than ever, especially as we grapple with the lightning-fast evolution of AI technology and look for solutions to global challenges.
Join us in this session as we draw from historical insights that remain highly relevant for our collaboration in a modern context. We’ll explore the cost of conflicts and the disproportionate investment required to better understand our diversity. What does a nuanced, multifactorial, data-driven approach to cultural diversity entail? And what is the price we pay when we oversimplify methods of measuring and categorising our most precious asset – our multifaceted culture.
