“It is strange that in the 21st century we are still talking about respect for diversity. The world solved that much earlier. Some hotheads want to present multiculturalism in a bad light, but we must not allow that,” said Agim Poshka, at a CIVIL panel discussion on the social responsibility of intellectuals and artists in promoting diversity and European values.
He added that from the city where he comes from, there is a river to which they live.
“We live by the river, but we also live next to each other with our citizens, and not with each other.
Major disasters such as the pandemic do not ask for ethnic differences, but the struggle is common.
We need to work with young people, and there is a subject at my university where I teach multiculturalism.
For this phenomenon to become normal is just a matter of youth. I take my daughter to places where there is multiculturalism.
Politics spoils our image, but I hope that through art and music they will learn that they should represent these values that we are talking about today.
Diversity should not be seen as a handicap.”
