True unity isn’t about doing away with our differences, it's about embracing them. Indeed our diversity, far from being a weakness, can be the source of our collective strength.
 
Our speaker this evening will explore what lies at the root of divisiveness and ways in which unity can be fostered through creating shared purpose and a genuine attitude of inclusion.
