Theme: Differences Worth Embracing

The theme of our conference is “Differences Worth Embracing”. The world consists of various people that differ in personalities, values, skin colours, races and professions. We believe that these differences enable the world to improve to be a better world. Especially in COVID-19 pandemic, people are prone to express their hatred towards certain regions or races. In such a situation, we would like to emphasize the worth of differences and how it can be embraced. In our conference, the speakers will share differences that appear in diverse fields of our society and how they are respected and or the proper way to appreciate them.
