DIVERSITY

Source of Inspiration

I remember the first time I thought about cultural diversity. It began with my art trip to Mexico City, which was my first intercontinental trip ever.

Beautiful colourful painted houses, cheerful music audible in the streets, laughing people everywhere. What a huge difference to my beloved home country Switzerland, but so incredible similar in cultural tradition and values as my Italian origins.

Diversity awareness means for me one’s ability to embrace the uniqueness of each individual regardless the different cultural background, religious belief, ethnicity, age, gender and not to forget the economic status.

I consider myself very fortunate for having the chance to get to know through my job as Art Ambassador manager, not only different countries, but equally important for me, the possibility to meet local people and become acquainted with their culture and tradition.

What more can I ask as source of inspiration?
