World Day of Cultural Diversity
About the May Sticker
May 21 is World Day for Cultural Diversity, a day dedicated to uniting communities worldwide and honoring the unique facets of each culture and celebrates diversity. In designing the sticker, we opted for the timeless symbol of a heart, showcased in different colors, symbolizing the richness and unity inherent in all cultures. Let's embrace diversity and work together toward a brighter, more inclusive world.
