The Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) has been promoting a diversity challenge on social media in an effort to promote harmony.
“Now more than ever, we need to unite. This is a time we need to unite as a people, and we need to remember that there is strength in unity. We need to avoid anything that would allow us to be divided around this political time and [uplift] each other during this pandemic. It simplifies unity….instead of persons sharing negative things on Facebook, this is a good thing for you to get involved in. What better time to do this when we have more time in our homes to reflect on harmony during this time and to call on persons to remember our motto, ‘One People, One Nation and One Destiny,’” Renne Chester, the head of the ERC Public Education and Awareness Unit, told Sunday Stabroek.
The initiative, which was launched on April 27th, takes inspiration from the #DontRush challenge that was recently viral on social media apps TikTok and Instagram.
