A respect and appreciation for diversity is accepted as a shared global value, essential for intercultural understanding and central to education for sustainable development. UNESCOs Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity (2001) denes culture as the spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of a social group including the values, beliefs, attitudes, behaviours, customs, traditions, practices, identity, lifestyle, language and religious faith of diverse peoples. The host culture / Bangla studies program at AISD aims to create opportunities for students to explore the commonalities of human experience through a multi-lingual cultural lens, with the aim of nurturing the qualities that build international mindedness.
