This badge is awarded to individuals who have developed diversity competence, i.e. the ability to understand, appreciate and manage different values, behaviors, attitudes and practices of diverse individuals and groups. Diversity competence goes beyond mere awareness of difference and extends to the capability to interact, communicate, and work effectively with people from various backgrounds, including dimensions such as gender, race/ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation/identity, disability, and age.
