What is tolerance?
UNESCO defines it as, “respect, acceptance, and appreciation of the rich diversity of our world’s cultures, our forms of expressing, and ways of being human. It is fostered by knowledge, openness, communication, and freedom of thought, conscience, and belief. Tolerance is harmony in difference.”
Education is the most important and effective way of learning how to find that harmony.
Writing prompt: Do you think we live in a tolerant society? Are you tolerant of difference? Do you feel you can 'stand proud and speak your mind'?
Write for five minutes in response to these questions.
