Foster an equitable and inclusive Malaysia for people of all backgrounds by building spaces that cultivate empathic, justice-oriented, and anti-discriminatory youth.
organization overview
Architects of Diversity bridges communities and identity groups among youth in Malaysia to work toward justice, peace, and a sustainable future. AOD does this by building spaces that facilitate interpersonal understanding and intergroup relationships. AOD advocates for anti-discrimination in education and trains youth to be leaders of diversity and inclusion. In the short term, AOD seeks to build a generation that can effectively challenge inequality. Eventually, AOD wants to see a Malaysia where individuals of all backgrounds are able to belong.
