DESCRIPTION: At ACTA, we believe that our differences make us stronger
 . Everyone brings something unique to the table: their own background
 , experience, perspective, or way of thinking. It is precisely becaus
 e of these differences that we can learn from and connect with one an
 other. But connecting doesn’t mean we have to be the same. By being
  open to one another and staying curious, we understand each other be
 tter. <h3>Together with VU, UvA, and HvA</h3> ACTA is currently the o
 nly faculty at VU and UvA with its own program on this day. That’s 
 why we’ve decided together that students and staff from VU, UvA, an
 d HvA are also welcome to join us. Whether you know a lot about diver
 sity and inclusion, want to learn more about it, or are simply critic
 al and curious: you’re more than welcome. Every perspective counts.
  <h3>Everyone has their own story</h3> Inclusion is often found in th
 e little things—in how we listen to one another, how we respond to 
 each other’s ideas, and how we make space for different perspective
 s. ACTA is a diverse community of students, faculty, and staff. That 
 diversity is sometimes clearly visible, but sometimes invisible as we
 ll. Everyone has their own story and brings valuable experiences to t
 he table. That’s why we want to do more than just say that diversit
 y and inclusion are important. With this event, we want to consciousl
 y draw attention to this topic. We want to work together to create an
  environment where everyone feels welcome, seen, and heard—a place 
 where differences are embraced and where inclusion is a given. <a hre
