Teaching of Pluralism. Further Feedback and Requests to AKF, Global Centre for Pluralism, IIS, DJI, ITREB, and LIF
Dear All,
I searched the Aga Khan Foundation Learning Hub for courses on pluralism, a vital prerequisite.
The following six came up in the search:
1. Media for Pluralism Toolkit
2. Advancing Pluralism Together
3. Priority Actions for Advancing Pluralism within Civil Society and Media Programs
4. Advancing Pluralism Together: A CSM-STAND Strategy for Integrating Pluralism into Projects
5. Pluralism and Education Preschool to University
6. Education & Pluralism
These are not courses designed to teach or study pluralism, but rather provide information about pluralism and include varying definitions of the term.
Below is a summary of each of the six, with links and an overview, including how pluralism has been defined.
Are there other “courses” on pluralism? Additionally, I would like to know from AKF, IIS, LIF, and the Global Centre for Pluralism if there are any impact or the pluralism monitor used for assessment and reports of pluralism in any Ismaili communities, and/or any of their entities, particularly schools, BUI, and universities. If so, please share them.
If pluralism has been embraced by the leaders in control, they would welcome feedback and be eager to respond and share.
However, so far, there have been many pending requests for over five years. Therefore, it appears clear that pluralism has not been embraced, raising the question of whether it has, in effect, been rejected by them despite it being a vital prerequisite directed by Aga Khan - Hazar Imam.

I look forward to a response.
I have posted this online and anyone who wishes can respond there.

Pluralism monitor and report
Canada is a diverse nation with strong commitments to pluralism. In 1971, the Canadian government adopted multiculturalism as an official policy aimed at recognizing cultural diversity as a fact of Canada’s social fabric.
While extensive legal steps have been taken to further the nation’s multicultural stance, Canada has made little progress in addressing issues impacting Indigenous groups and struggles to fully integrate individuals of diverse backgrounds into society.
In reality, Indigenous communities still face colonial-era disadvantages and lower levels of societal belonging. Media representation of racialized groups continues to be unequal. And, economic disparities across these different communities persist. By focussing on the experiences of the Québécois, ethnoracialized minorities and Indigenous Peoples, the Global Pluralism Monitor:
Canada report underscores that more work needs to be done to realize the country’s promises of a more pluralistic future. This assessment was completed in 2021.

There should be a similar pluralism report for the Ismaili community and their entities including schools and universities
