The Trust Schools Diversity Poster Campaign 

In support of the National Policy on Religion and Education, The Desmond Tutu Diversity Trust strives to enable all teachers and pupils in South Africa to understand and appreciate the diversity of religious and other worldviews.  

To this end, The Trust launched a Poster Campaign in 2004, providing schools with visual material that illustrates important elements in South Africa’s different religious traditions; namely, African Religions, Baha'i Faith, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism. 

Phase I of the Poster Campaign depicts symbols, important days, food, clothing and decorations that are central to the various religions. Phase II will feature places and buildings, festivals and customs, and oral traditions and scriptures. View poster gallery.

The Desmond Tutu Diversity Trust Colloquia 

The Desmond Tutu Diversity Trust believes in colloquia as concrete ways to share expertise and experience in formulating a multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural approach to societal harmony and understanding.  

We aim to run six colloquia per annum, making these accessible to all potential peace-makers, not only in South and Southern Africa, but also from across the African continent and further afield.  

Speakers from a variety of spheres will be invited to address delegates on topics such as race, ethnicity, gender, diversity in education, etc., and sponsorship will be sought to make colloquia accessible to those who can best benefit from it.
