A story of integral co-existence and unity
We wanted to focus on unity in diversity as our core concept in DE&I Although we differ in nationality, gender, age, beliefs and culture, we must co-exist in harmony and come together to create a better whole. Through our design, we hope to recognize these differences and create an inclusive journey of learning that can be experienced by all people alike.
OUR DESIGN IN ACTION
TACTILE WALL MURAL SIGNAGE

DE&I to us
DE&I to us is ensuring that everyone feels represented and welcome in a space.
The mural is a symbol of integral co-existence and harmony in one's habitat


Our color palette includes colors that represent the eco-center and the emotions we hope our word can collectively live with
Inclusive Colors
To ensure inclusivity, we proof checked our graphics and colors for color blindness and ensured that they were high contrast colors that could be easily interpreted.

To create a learning experience, we chose to represent species that are present in the Jebal













Sanctuary
