Diversity

Understanding and respecting differences and relating these to our common humanity e.g.

• showing how language relates to national, regional and cultural identities
• exploring how different people have developed solutions to meet their needs
• studying people, places and environments in different parts of the world
• exploring the different linguistic and cultural traditions of those countries where a modern foreign language is spoken
• studying art forms from different cultures and traditions
• showing how ideas, beliefs and values influence the making of art
• celebrating different national, religious and ethnic identities
