Social change: diversity and tolerance should never be optional

#NEXTGen is where progressive ideas and thinking outside of the box are more than welcome. Social prejudice, however, is not. The BMW Group believes that social change is a must and diversity can only be beneficial – at work and in life. For our “What’s your reason not to change?” panel discussion, we invited three like-minded individuals, each with their own diversity stories. 

Join our three speakers in their discussion and explore with them what social change really means.
