There are many reasons why it is important to respect people’s differences. It helps create a safe space in which all people feel valued. It helps us become more tolerant of difference and accepting of others. It helps us build a richer network of relationships around us.  

​

Mixing with those that are different from us means we get the opportunity to see the world through different eyes. We learn more about the world and ourselves in the process, which helps us grow intellectually and spiritually. It also opens the doors to many other opportunities, be they friendships, work prospects, travel possibilities or a wider understanding of the world in which we live.

​

REConnecting Lincolnshire is working with teachers, children and young people to enable respectful encounter with difference across faiths, cultures and generations.
