Polyculturalism is a way of being that celebrates and respects all cultures, no matter how different from our own. It says that it is ok to be different because everyone comes from different backgrounds and should be respected for their beliefs, customs, and traditions. It encourages people to learn about other cultures and to view and appreciate them as important parts of our global community. In a polycultural world, everyone is accepted and appreciated for who they are, and their culture is valued and celebrated.
