Kahoot!’s diversity and inclusion commitments

We believe that learning should include everyone.

We believe in removing barriers to education.

We do not discriminate or exclude due to individual characteristics or circumstances, including but not limited to age, disability, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, political opinion, pregnancy/maternity/paternity, race, color, caste, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, socioeconomic background, trade union membership status, or education level, in accordance with but not restricted to the scope of the law.
