Solutions
Expand diversity in the community
Educate diversity competence
Create lectures and documents to
educate the community in public
places such as churches and
libraries
Organize a multicultural festival
Attract all ages to work on the
festival (optional)

It strengthens communities and the

workplace. Education within a diverse setting
prepares the community to become good
citizens in an increasingly complex, pluralistic
society; it fosters mutual respect and
teamwork; and it helps build communities
whose members are judged by the quality of
their character and their contributions.
It enhances America's economic
competitiveness. It makes Plymouth more
popular from all ages, cultures and become
more welcoming to these cultures

Evaluation of the Interventions

Create a Diversity survey for the community

Ask the community and the surrounding local
businesses if the multicultural festival is
something that they were content about.
How many other cultures are moving or
considering of moving in the area, if any
If school and churches become cultural
competent and accept other communities
from outside
