Creativity thrives on diversity with innovation blooming at the intersections. Yet increasingly, diversity has become a polarizing topic caught up in left vs. right culture wars.

We are at a remarkable but perilous moment in human history, a moment of multiple and convergent crises. The ability to identify, design and apply diverse approaches will be key to developing solutions to the genuinely existential challenges that lie ahead this century.
Part of Salzburg Global’s Designs on the Future initiative, this lively discussion of diverse views will explore why diversity matters, how we can bridge the culture-war divide and how human diversity – in all its forms – will help us develop better solutions.
