The Diversity Village is the main side-event of the Social Hackathon Umbria!
The village will be organised within the historical village of Spello and will include a rich programme of workshops and performances, open to the public free of charge, focusing on the inclusive themes of NEURO and SOCIO diversity, as well as an expo area dedicated to the valorisation of BIO diversity.
‘D’ FOR DIVERSITY
In nature, as in society, diversity is the only true engine of evolution and innovation.
It is through variety that ecosystems thrive, ideas contaminate and communities are enriched. Each difference is a vital piece of a larger mosaic, made up of unique colours, cultures, experiences and perspectives.
Without diversity, there would be no creativity, progress and growth. It is in the nuances that the most brilliant solutions are found, in the uniqueness that the most surprising collaborations are born.
Celebrating diversity means recognising that every voice has value, that every identity deserves space and that only together can we build a more open, inclusive and extraordinary future.
