WELCOME!

January 2010 saw the Franco-British Council hosting DIVERSITY 2.0, a conference that aimed to address vital issues facing our societies in the 21st century. We brought together innovative and motivated individuals from both Britain and France to brainstorm on essential issues surrounding Education, Employment, and Citizenship. We now want to continue to focus on practical outcomes-- creative and effective ideas that will influence our public policy-makers!

This website is a means for you to connect with other individuals to discuss & explore issues surrounding the future of our increasingly global societies.

We've invited you here to speak out on the issues that matter to you--and we want you to shake things up! Your unconventional approaches to the subject are most welcome, for the most revolutionary changes come from challenging the status quo and pushing the boundaries of our imaginations...
