Inclusion puts together the practice of diversity into action by creating an environment where race, different perspectives, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and different beliefs are socially and culturally accepted, respected, and appreciated.

13. Inclusion starts with ‘’I’’ “One person can accept another’s differences as strengths and start a chain reaction. Inclusion starts with “I”.’’ https://youtu.be/ceruifzy_xk Question: Are you inclusive? Utah State University. (2018). Inclusion starts with I [Video].

14. Why is inclusion important? Inclusion is important because it: Promotes respect for others. Promotes positive self-image and boost self-esteem. Allows individuals from different backgrounds to achieve their full potential. Enforces good values Helps us value diversity Creates a common ground between individuals. For example, we see the person first before we can see the disability, race, gender, ethnicity, etc.

15. Difference between DIVERSITY and INCLUSION DIVERSITY INCLUSION Diversity is simply a representation of many different types of people (gender, race, ability, religion, etc.). Diversity focuses on the differences and similarities that people have. Diversity is when you acknowledge that there are different(diverse) people in your team. Inclusion is the deliberate act of welcoming, valuing, and appreciating diversity and creating an environment where all different kinds of people can thrive and succeed. Inclusion is when the diverse people in your team feel safe, welcomed, supported, and encouraged to fully participate and be on equal footing as everyone else.
