Diversity Icebreaker - International

21/05/2025

Today we mark the United Nations World Day for Cultural Diversity – an important reminder of the value found in differences of perspectives, experiences, and cultures.
With Diversity Icebreaker (DI), we demonstrate that true collaboration and innovation begin with understanding and respecting our differences. Our tools – DI and TeamReflect – help teams bridge diversity and create psychological safety in communication.
Let’s use this day to celebrate diversity – not just as an ideal, but as a driving force for better collaboration and stronger results.
