At TWI MENA, we take pride in our rich tapestry of diversity, recognising that it is not just a part of who we are, but a cornerstone of our values and success.
We concluded the month of May by coming together to honour this day through a vibrant International Diversity Breakfast.
Why do we celebrate diversity at TWI MENA? Because we understand that diversity fosters innovation, creativity, and inclusivity. By embracing different perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds, we enrich our work environment and empower our teams to tackle challenges with greater depth and breadth.
Welcome to a journey of cultural exploration and celebration!
As you step into our event space, you'll find yourself immersed in a colourful array of traditional attire, tantalising aromas of authentic cuisine, and the fluttering of flags representing nations from across the globe. Each miniature pavilion is a portal to a different culture, offering a glimpse into the traditions, customs, and heritage of countries like Pakistan, the Philippines, India, Libya, Uzbekistan, Malaysia, and Iran.
At each pavilion, you'll savour the flavours of traditional foods and discover fascinating cultural facts and anecdotes shared by our diverse staff members. From the intricate patterns of Pakistani attire, vibrant festivals of India, the culinary delights of Uzbekistan, the rich cultural heritage of the Philippines to the warm hospitality of Libyans, each showcase embodies the unique essence of its respective culture.

TWI Director, Prof. Tat-Hean Gan, gave a stirring address that underscores the significance of diversity and inclusion in our workplace. His remarks highlighted how our diverse viewpoints and expertise drive innovation and achievement, reaffirming our dedication to cultivating an inclusive atmosphere.
As one indulges in this cultural feast, we remind ourselves that diversity is more than just a concept—a commitment to understanding, respect, and unity. It's about creating an environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to contribute their best.
So, we raise our glasses in a toast to diversity, inclusion, and the values that define us as TWI MENA. May this breakfast serve as a reminder of the strength in our differences and the boundless potential of our collective unity.
Special thanks go to PAC for being instrumental in organising this special event, and our esteemed colleagues for joining and actively contributing to this inspiring journey.
Together, we celebrate the beauty of diversity and the power of inclusion and let the spirit of international unity guide us forward.
