# Diversity — WikiConference India 2023, Hyderabad

The central theme of WCI 2023 is Strengthening Bonds, which was selected for the conference to highlight the importance of forming and maintaining strong connections between our communities. This theme reflects the belief that a robust support system and cross-learning platforms are essential for collective success. By bringing together community members from different groups, this conference aims to facilitate discussions on fostering and enhancing these critical bonds, ultimately leading to a more connected and supportive movement.

Furthermore, we decided to take the central theme forward by creating specific sub-themes relevant and representative of the region. These themes have been incorporated into our conference logo and will be incorporated into the design of the conference and the attendees’ experience.

Diversity: India is undoubtedly a diverse country with one of the largest and youngest populations in the world and several languages, cultures, and traditions. But India is also home to a rich flora and fauna, our biodiversity. Our community works on various projects, languages, technologies, and cultures and is a diverse movement. We have taken the Banyan tree, the National Tree of India, to symbolize our diversity due to its sacred and scientific significance.
