“We have to recognize that human flourishing is not a mechanical process; it's an organic process. And you cannot predict the
outcome of human development. All you can do, like a farmer, is create the conditions under which they will begin to flourish.”

The changing global environment requires people to engage with people from cultural, religious and/or linguistic backgrounds or world views that are very different from their own.” - NZCER (2012)
