Tuesday 21 October Different cultural backgrounds have always existed, and people have always thought about phenomena, attitudes or even behaviours that were unusual in other cultures. Such encounters, today, are almost part of our everyday life with the advance of ICT, e-learning, e-commerce, better transportation networks and movement of people all over the world. At the same time, these changes help the interchange between cultures and the development of a more open, multinational approach. Nevertheless, it is important in all we do and say to respect the individual and their culture as well as to share experiences and knowledge. As a Greek staff member I am impressed by Leeds Met’s aspiration to create a University that fully appreciates and respects the individual, their culture, religion and background. Furthermore, based on my experience I feel that Leeds Met affirms fundamental human values such as, honour, pride and compassion and this is something that will be reflected in our students. Even though increasing cultural diversity poses a challenge for Universities and staff, it is an opportunity for Leeds Met to demonstrate commitment to the continuous development of an environment in which such diversity is respected and people from all over the world are made welcome.
