cultural inclusion
Embracing all backgrounds
Cultural inclusion is the practice of ensuring that people from diverse backgrounds—different ethnicities, religions, abilities, or identities—can fully participate in institutions, communities, or activities.
It goes beyond mere tolerance to actively welcoming and valuing difference: The museum's cultural inclusion initiatives brought in voices previously absent from its collections.
Often appears in corporate and educational contexts alongside related terms like diversity and equity.
