Architects of Diversity (AoD)

Architects of Diversity aims to bridge communities and identity groups among youth in Malaysia.

An initiative of Malaysian alumni of United World Colleges, AoD offers young people who call Malaysia home an invaluable opportunity to understand Malaysia’s complex yet fascinating diversity, and provides them the tools to be critically engaged, empathetic and committed stewards of the country’s present and future.

Malaysia’s diversity is its biggest strength, but also its biggest challenge. In a world where differences can easily divide communities and nations, it is imperative for Malaysia’s long term sustainability that young Malaysians know how to live, collaborate and work with people of different cultural, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.

​Through workshops, discussions and reflections, our programme tackles the big question faced by societies that are defined by their difference: how do we best live together in difference and diversity?
