November 16th, 1935

This day encourages understanding, respect and acceptance of the diversity of cultures, religions, races and beliefs in our world. It is a day when society comes together to reflect on the importance of tolerance and its role in promoting harmony and harmony in the world. The history of the International Day for Tolerance dates back to 1996, when the United Nations General Assembly recognized the need to strengthen efforts to promote tolerance and respect for diversity. This day was an opportunity to discuss what measures can be taken to strengthen tolerance and reduce conflicts based on cultural, religious and ethnic differences. Tolerance is the ability to accept and respect differences in all their manifestations. It not only relates to cultural aspects, but also to beliefs, lifestyle, identity and what makes each person unique. In a world where many differences come together, tolerance is a fundamental element of peace and justice. International Day for Tolerance provides an opportunity for people around the world to express their support for tolerance. This is a moment to discuss the problems associated with intolerance, xenophobia and discrimination, and to find ways to overcome these phenomena. Activities on this day include conferences, discussions, educational events and cultural events that promote understanding and respect for diversity. The International Day for Tolerance reminds us that we live in a world where there are many different opinions and points of view. It is important to strive for dialogue rather than conflict, and to look for ways to cooperate and agree. Tolerance is the key to peace, justice and sustainable development of our planet. This day encourages each of us to reflect on our role in building a more tolerant and respectful society. We can make the world a better place, starting with how we view diversity and how we ourselves practice tolerance in our daily lives.
