The term' diversity of cultural expressions' refers to the various ways in which people express their creativity, cultural identity, and artistic talents. This diversity results from manifold influences on cultural practices - history, geography, different beliefs, languages, and customs. The protection and promotion of diverse cultural expressions are vital in today's world, where globalisation and the potential homogenisation of cultures can represent a significant threat to local and indigenous cultures, languages, and traditions.
ExploreAudience diversity refers to audiences from various backgrounds, including race, ethnic origin, geographic location, age, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender identity, and abilities.
ExploreAt the level of Europe, the workforce is characterised by a high level of diversity. Starting from the formal criteria, such as the legal status of employment workers, although a large part of the European workforce is wage-employed, a variety of legal contracts make the person's or household's situations very different, depending on whether those who make them up are engaged in part-time work, have short-term contracts, or do interim work. These statutes define very different situations in employment, which in turn relate to very different working conditions and, consequently, different relations to culture in general.
