Today we will dive into the emotional topic of cultural heritage and pride.
Expressing pride in one’s cultural background has become a delicate balancing act. Too often, cultural pride is mistaken for cultural superiority.

The challenge lies in ensuring our pride does not shift from a sense of “we” to an “us versus them”, weaponising it, so to speak.
