Inclusion & Diversity Statement

representation of diversity by actively seeking to include members of each of the

Overview Statement
One Human Family Workshops, Inc. (OHF), is a national nonprofit organization,
headquartered in Durham, NC. It is dedicated to the eradication of racism through the
creation of models of unity which help develop, strengthen, and support multi-faith,
multi-cultural, and multi-generational communities. Since it’s formation, OHF has
promoted the idea of unity in diversity through extensive use of the arts, and has
encouraged and enhanced frank and honest dialogue through our various workshop
formats. This unique combination of approaches fosters a new freedom of expression
and greater understanding - far beyond current levels and aspects of communication.

Each of OHF’s “workshop” experiences - designed with flexibility in mind. By fully
integrating the arts, we create an atmosphere of cooperation rather than
competitiveness which has been shown to reduce prejudices. In each workshop process
individuals really get to know each other, exchange information, and thus develop a
greater understanding of themselves and others who are “different” from them. We are
able to explore, value, and pass on various dimensions of cultural perspectives and
traditions which we believe will enhance the lives of future generations as we create
new forms of “artistic expression” through the cooperative integration of the diverse
heritage of our workshop participants.
