Editing Cultural diversity (section)

=== Individual choices ===
Individual citizens can experience and promote cultural diversity through their own choices, including the choice to share their own culture. The "Do One Thing for Diversity and Inclusion" campaign has been run annually since 2011 by the [[United Nations Alliance of Civilizations|United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC)]] as a way to commemorate the World Day for Cultural Diversity. It encourages people to explore the music, literature, art, and traditions of unfamiliar cultures and to share their own culture with strangers.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Goff |first=Patricia M |date=September 2015 |title=Public diplomacy at the global level: The Alliance of Civilizations as a community of practice |url=http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0010836715574915 |journal=Cooperation and Conflict |language=en |volume=50 |issue=3 |page=412 |doi=10.1177/0010836715574915 |s2cid=143306286 |issn=0010-8367}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |author=United Nations Alliance of Civilizations|title=Do One Thing for Diversity and Inclusion |year=2012|url=https://www.un.org/en/academic-impact/do-one-thing-diversity-and-inclusion |access-date=2023-04-14 |website=United Nations |language=}}</ref>

The American lawyer [[Juliette Passer]] describes the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity as prompting each individual to consider their own and others' diverse identities:

<blockquote>"We need social and educational experiences plus reflection on the experience to go beyond reliance on stereotypes. The more we interact with diverse others and mindfully reflect on the experience, the more we can improve our competency with differences."<ref name=":1" /></blockquote>
