Abstract
In Africa, there is a certain way in which cultural diversity is perceived. Cultural diversity in Africa is a vision of man and the world. It is both an action by man on himself and on the world to transform it. It is a system of thought, a philosophy, a scientific object and a belief. The perception of cultural diversity is essentially dynamic. The idea of the perception of cultural diversity in ECOWAS is analyzed in this article. Our question is: what is the perception of cultural diversity in ECOWAS? We therefore sent out a questionnaire to people working in this organization. Our surveys revealed both positive and negative perceptions of cultural diversity in ECOWAS. To find a solution to the negative perception, we propose measures that will contribute to a better appreciation and understanding of cultural diversity within ECOWAS.
