Key concepts

  • When we value something, we see its importance and how it enriches our world. 
  • There are many differences in people. Bringing people’s differences together builds a stronger society. 
  • Lived experience means the knowledge, insights, and perspectives we bring to our interactions with others.
  • We should value lived experience and diversity since different perspectives can create a variety of ideas and knowledge.
  • We all have the same rights to participate in the community and have a say, no matter who we are, where we are from or what we look like. 
  • Leaders who value diversity and lived experience create environments where everyone feels valued, empowered, respected, safe and motivated to contribute.
