I believe multiculturalism is important because it allows people to be open minded We need to be accepting of one another and multiculturalism allows us to be tolerant of one another

Multiculturalism helps to debunk stereotypes that we have of one another and brings about awareness in us. I think we should understand the importance of multiculturalism because it highlights the differences and similarities between us and when we understand and except one another it leads to a peaceful and respectful environment

I chose to be a multicultural prefect because I believe that in our school there are different students coming from different countries and we have different traditions and culture Being a prefect in the Multicultural Club I am responsible for welcoming all the students, making them feel free to express their nationality and background Being a multicultural prefect allows me to understand different people and their point of view in terms of culture and diversity. It allows me to learn different languages from my fellow pupils while they are also learning from my language

As a Multicultural prefect this helps me to gain knowledge of different countries and how they cope with traditions and use of languages

It makes me learn from my fellow pupils how life is for them in their origin countries

Finally, communication is the key to connecting and understanding everybody around me, that is why I choose to be a multicultural prefect
