Dear colleagues,
This week, on the 16th of November, we're celebrating International Day of Tolerance.
This is a great reminder that we have a lot of strength when we embrace diversity and try to understand each other.
As educators, we have a major responsibility in shaping how our students see and interact with the world around them. Every class is an opportunity to teach them empathy, respect for others, and how to appreciate different perspectives.
Check out the UNESCO's programmes on fostering tolerance for your inspiration:
Culture of Peace and Non-violence
Democracy and Global Citizenship
Fostering Rights, Inclusion and Non-Discrimination
Education transforms lives
Freedom of Expression and the Rule of Law

If so, what formats would you like to use?
