In 2002, UN General Assembly declared May 21 to be the world Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, following the UNESCO’s adoption of Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity in previous year. The day provides an opportunity to deepen the understanding the values of cultural diversity and also helps to showcase the richness of the world’s cultures for achieving peace and sustainable development.
