2019 FOCUS:
WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM HISTORY?

With classrooms a reflection of the society in which we live, in 2019 Tolerance Day will focus on history, connecting the generations, and ensuring a focus on understanding the evolution of our thinking.

WHY WE NEED TOLERANCE

Tolerance isn’t necessary if we are in agreement. We are allowed to disagree, but it is the manner and attitude with which we express our views which is important.
​Tolerance is a term often used interchangeably with ‘celebrating diversity’, and whilst both terms complement each other, ‘tolerance’ is the only concept that gets to the heart of the really difficult work in educating young people on how to address people, practices and perspectives that they do not understand or do not agree with.
