Co-Curricular Activities Foster Diversity

Co-curricular activities can forge friendly relations among diverse students by having them cooperate in groups for various activities. This allows students from different backgrounds to engage in the same activities together like sports and clubs, getting to know each other in the process. Schools have found success in encouraging friendship, shared understanding, and interaction through multi-racial groups and by having students learn about each other's cultures and festivals.
