Dare to Overcome (DTO), the premier global initiative promoting peace and unity through intercultural understanding in workplaces and marketplaces is set to host its flagship event at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. This year’s edition, the 2nd annual Dare to Overcome conference in India, continues its mission of fostering diverse and inclusive workplaces while advancing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions.
Global Platform for Peace and Inclusion
DTO 2024 will gather global business leaders, thought innovators, and Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) from leading multinational corporations such as Salesforce, PayPal, Equinix, and American Airlines. The event will serve as a platform to share practices and celebrate advancements in creating inclusive workplaces and communities that champion intercultural harmony and allyship.
At the event, the prestigious “King Husein Global Business Intercultural Peace Awards” will honor corporate leaders advancing allyship in three key areas:
Core Business: This includes recognizing innovative practices in HR, training, supply chains, and product development, promoting interfaith understanding.
Social Investment & Philanthropy: This includes celebrating strategic contributions to social causes and community aid.
Advocacy & Public Policy: This includes highlighting efforts to foster social cohesion and dialogue across communities. These awards spotlight leaders who exemplify the power of diversity, in order to foster peace and progress.
Last years awardees include Nadir Godrej, Louis D’Amore, Ajay Prakash, Sangita Jindal, Dr. Maurizio Bragagni OBE, Nehmeh Taouk, and Zainab Patel. The new awardees will be announced shortly.
Furthermore, At Dare to Overcome 2024, the full India REDI (Religious Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) Monitor Report, as provided by the Religious Freedom & Business Foundation, will be presented, with special recognition of the 10 top-scoring companies for their achievement.
Innovative Curriculum: Building Peace Among Future Generations
DTO 2024 will also mark the introduction of the Human Rights, Business Skills & Peace Secondary School Curriculum, set to pilot in India in 2024-2025. This unique initiative integrates ten core human rights, guaranteed by the Indian Constitution, with essential business skills, fostering inclusive peace and mutual understanding among future generations.
For instance, the “Freedom from Discrimination” lesson combines knowledge about equality rights with networking skills, encouraging students to appreciate and collaborate with diverse individuals while honing key professional abilities.
