Tolerance Day 2018

On 16 November, the International Day for Tolerance, my Class 7 students and I prepared a programme by which we wanted to say that we should respect and accept each other regardless of the differences, not only on this day, but always.

At the beginning of the programme, we showed a video survey conducted by my young journalists who asked our youngest students what tolerance is.

Later on, 5 teams of students from different classes participated in a fun-educational quiz, they listened to poems in Serbian, German and English, traditional Serbian songs and two students played the synthesizers and guitar. Our ballerinas also had their performance. In the end, we all treated ourselves with the cakes prepared by mums and grandmas.

We are glad that the children from the migrant centre also joined our programme.

The International Day for Tolerance was established on 16 November 1995 at the General Assembly of UNESCO. According to the Declaration, tolerance is the acceptance of the fact that "human beings, naturally different in appearance, position, speech, behavior and values, have the right to live and be what they are."

I've also created an event on eTwinning, invited all teachers to always promote tolerance, respect and dignity in their schools and asked them to share their activities on an online canvas.
