Cultural intelligence and connection

This moment shows what many South Africans want to see more of—people from different backgrounds connecting and understanding each other. Almost 30 years after Archbishop Desmond Tutu called South Africa the "Rainbow Nation" after apartheid, moments like this bring that idea to life.

Cultural Intelligence (CQ) means being able to relate to and work with people from different cultures. When children learn about and take part in each other's traditions, they naturally develop this skill, helping to create a more inclusive and respectful society.
