The Declaration of Principles of Tolerance proclaims that all people are different by nature but equal in dignity and rights.
According to the document, tolerance means respect, acceptance and proper understanding of the rich diversity of the world's cultures, forms of self-expression and ways of expressing human individuality. On state level Tolerance requires fair and impartial legislation, respect for law and order, and judicial and administrative standards. Tolerance also requires providing every person with opportunities for economic and social development without any discrimination.
Most effective means Prevention of intolerance is, according to the declaration, education that begins with teaching people what their general rights and freedoms are, to ensure the exercise of these rights, and by encouraging the desire to protect the rights of others.
The principles of tolerance as fundamental rights and freedoms are enshrined in legal acts and proclaimed in international declarations. The basic documents are the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Within the framework of the Council of Europe (CoE), the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms operates. The prohibition of racism and racial discrimination is enshrined in International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities and other documents.

In the field of racism and racial discrimination, Article 136 of the Criminal Code (Violation of equal rights and freedoms of man and citizen) and Article 282 (Incitement to hatred or enmity, as well as humiliation of human dignity) are recognized as the main ones.
The European Council for Tolerance and Reconciliation (ECTR) was established in Paris. The main activities of the ECTP are devoted to monitoring the situation in the field of tolerance in Europe, developing proposals and recommendations national governments and international organizations to improve interreligious and interethnic relations on the continent. The Council is an international organization focused on combating xenophobia, anti-Semitism and racial discrimination in the modern world.
The European Commission decided to create a draft law that would protect the principles of respect and prohibit any form of discrimination, racism and anti-Semitism. The Commission obliged EU countries to adopt the legislative model prepared in this regard into their legal systems.
In October 2012, the ECTP proposed to the European Parliament a draft model framework national law on the development of tolerance, which defines the basic principles and concepts of tolerance, the principles of relationships between various social groups, including between migrants and the indigenous population, guarantees a number of democratic freedoms, lists the responsibilities required to be fulfilled by governments European countries, including responsibilities in the field of education, regulates relations with the media.
For his contribution to the development of ideas of tolerance in Europe and the fight against various forms The European Medal of Tolerance was established due to the intolerance of the ECTP. The first gold medal for tolerance was awarded in 2010 to King Juan Carlos I of Spain.
In October 2012, the European Parliament awarded gold medals of tolerance to Croatian President Ivo Josipović and ex-Serbian President Boris Tadic for their exceptional personal role in the reconciliation process in the Western Balkans.

With the initiative of UNESCO, the whole world celebrates the 16th International Day of Tolerance. It was on this date in 1995 that the principles of tolerance were voiced, an unlimited value that has a real chance of stopping any war on our planet. Creation legislative framework is the first attempt to return the culture of communication to the people. The ability to respect the views and tastes of others, not to divide people by age, race and religious affiliation- these are unspoken rules that, unfortunately, not every society accepts.
How is World Tolerance Day celebrated?
Many cities have special programs that aim to change people's thinking. Administrations attract sponsors who are willing to pay for the release specialized literature, calendars, posters and methodological manuals. Since it is very difficult to convince a formed personality, all efforts are directed at schoolchildren and students, spreading printed publications among educational institutions.
International Day of Tolerance is a date that is famous for events dedicated to the culture and traditions of other peoples. Therefore, it is not surprising that in November it is held great amount festivals, concerts and just friendly meetings. Active participation of young people in them different nationalities proves that despite their differences, people can be together.
It has become a wonderful tradition for schoolchildren to communicate with older people, who often lack attention and human warmth. They are happy to share life experience, fill the halls to enjoy the laughter of children and watch the concert. Communication between different generations has a positive effect, first of all, on the children themselves who study.
Tolerance prevents the collapse of states and social explosions. Politicians must understand this statesmen. Humanity in the highest sense of the word will save not only the world, but also our souls.

PARENT MEETING
"HOW TO RAISING A TOLERANT PERSON?"
Multimedia presentation
The problem of discussion with parents is the question “How to raise a tolerant person?” Tolerance of a person going out in great life, is a socialization factor and largely determines success life path person. That is why the most important task is to develop in the younger generation the ability to build relationships in the process of interacting with others on the basis of cooperation and mutual understanding, willingness to accept other people and their views, habits as they are.
Progress of the meeting:
Dear parents! We are happy to greet you. Thank you for putting everything aside and coming to this meeting. We are celebrating a week to prevent extremism among young people and adolescents, dedicated to the International Day of Tolerance. The problem that will be the subject of our discussion is very relevant: “How to raise a tolerant person?” The need to solve it is dictated by the fact that the tolerance of a person entering a big life is a factor of socialization and largely determines the success of a person’s life path.
So, what is xenophobia, tolerance is a fairly new concept, it is:
– recognition, respect and observance of the rights and freedoms of all people without distinction of social, class, religious, ethnic and other characteristics.
– tolerance for other people’s opinions, beliefs, behavior.
In other words, tolerance is…..
Tolerance presupposes respect for the original inner world child, faith in the victory of good beginnings in interpersonal relationships, rejection of methods of brute coercion and any forms of authoritarianism, positive vocabulary.
To raise a child to be tolerant, it is necessary to take into account the fact that children are a mirror of the relationships and characters of their parents. Therefore, first you need to treat your child with tolerance.
First of all, don't offend him.
Secondly , listen to his opinion and take it into account.
Third , be able to forgive offenses and ask for forgiveness from the child. This is the most difficult moment, but at the same time the most important, since children have a heightened sense of justice.
Fourth , be able to negotiate without quarrels and destructive conflicts.
Fifthly , you cannot humiliate the child’s dignity - ignore him, show disrespect for his hobbies, etc.
At sixth , you should not force your child to do what you want.
In order for parents to be able to raise their children in the spirit of tolerance, they need to have the appropriate knowledge, namely, parents need to form in adolescents a system of values based on such general concepts, such as agreement, compromise, mutual acceptance and tolerance, forgiveness, non-violence, sympathy, understanding, empathy, etc.
The first test of parents' tolerance is the acceptance of the child's gender, when instead of, say, a long-awaited heir, a daughter is born. This is especially important because in the first year of a new person’s life, his basic trust in the world is formed. And if a child does not receive enough love and attention, he may develop a hostile attitude towards the world, which will seriously complicate his life. In the first year of a child's life special meaning has a mother, in general this period of time can be safely called the year of the mother. She is the one who satisfies all the baby’s needs. But, meanwhile, the presence of the father also has important. Firstly, it is he who ensures the safety of the mother and child, and it is on his behavior that the mother’s well-being depends. Secondly, the child looks at the relationship between the parents and what he sees influences his future family, later life and health. Everyone knows that a daughter should be raised to be feminine and the values of motherhood should be instilled in her, and a son should be instilled with a sense of responsibility. But the most important thing is to teach the girl to be grateful and the boy to be caring. After all, if a boy is caring, then, having become a man, in the name of achieving the well-being of his loved ones, he will make every effort, showing intelligence, strength, and other masculine qualities. And gratitude is the most important female quality. Because if a woman is grateful, then you want to do something more for her than has already been done and you want to please her.
When raising a child, one must also take into account that the human brain remembers absolutely everything. The only question is whether it will be deposited in the consciousness or in the subconscious. Raising a child by example is the most difficult, but at the same time the most effective. In order for a daughter to grow up feminine, the mother needs to be like that herself and teach her tidiness and women's housework. Big role The father also plays a role in a girl’s life, since the way he communicates with her determines what kind of relationships she will seek with men when she grows up. A teenage son should be raised with calm severity. Of course, this does not mean that you should not love him.
Children who experience the values of respect and tolerance for others gain the foundations needed to build peace and develop community. The actions they take to serve the community of family, class, school strengthen their knowledge and make it possible to create a society of mutual agreement where they live in joy and harmony. Regardless of the child’s position, his worldview, respectful attitude to it is a necessary principle of the educational process. In the formation of tolerance, this principle acquires double significance. By respecting and accepting the child’s position and opinion, correcting them if necessary, we show him an example of a tolerant attitude towards a person with a different view of the world.
The slide presents symbolic rules of upbringing that may help you and I raise tolerant and tolerant children.
If a child is constantly criticized, he learns hate.
If a child lives in enmity, he learns aggressiveness.
If a child is ridiculed, he becomes closed.
If a child grows up in reproaches, he learns to live with a feeling of guilt.
If a child grows up in tolerance, he learnsaccept others.
If a child is encouraged, he learns believe in yourself.
If a child grows up in honesty, he learnsto be fair.
If a child grows up in safety, he learns believe in yourself.
If a child lives in understanding and friendliness, he learnsfinding love in this world.
And now I suggest you just look at the slides I prepared.
We will receive more than we give if we more often remember what connects us, about the fact that a person becomes a Human only thanks to another person.
We live because we are different.

International Day for Tolerance
In 1996, the General Assembly invited Member States to observe the International Day for Tolerance on 16 November each year with activities targeting both educational institutions and the general public (resolution 51/95 of 12 December).
This decision was taken in connection with the United Nations Year 1995, dedicated to tolerance, which was proclaimed by the Assembly in 1993 (resolution 48/126). This Year was declared at the initiative of the General Conference of UNESCO. On 16 November 1995, UNESCO Member States adopted a Declaration of Principles on Tolerance and a Program of Action to continue the activities of the Year.
The 2005 World Summit Outcome Document (A/RES/60/1) underlines the commitment of Heads of State and Government to improve human well-being, freedom and progress everywhere, and to promote tolerance, respect, dialogue and interaction among different cultures, civilizations and peoples.
TOLERANCE, or tolerance, the desire and ability to establish and maintain community with people who differ in some respect from the prevailing type or do not adhere to generally accepted opinions. Tolerance is a difficult and rare achievement for the simple reason that the foundation of community is tribal consciousness. We unite in commonality with those who share our beliefs, or with those who speak the same language or have the same culture as us, or with those who belong to the same ethnic group. In essence, a common language and a sense of ethnic closeness throughout human history act as the foundations of the community. At the same time, we tend to be hostile or fearful toward “others”—those who are different from us. The difference can occur at any level of biological, cultural or political reality.
International Day for Tolerance (others) official languages UN: English International Day for Tolerance, Spanish Dia Internacional para la Tolerancia) - celebrated annually on November 16. This International Day was solemnly proclaimed in the UNESCO Declaration of Principles of Tolerance. The Declaration was approved in 1995 at the 28th General Conference of UNESCO (resolution No. 5.61).
The Declaration defines tolerance as “respect, acceptance and proper understanding of the rich diversity of cultures of our world, our forms of self-expression and ways of expressing human individuality.” The Declaration proclaims “the recognition that human beings by nature differ in appearance, position, speech, behavior and values and have the right to live in peace and maintain their individuality.”
The Declaration examines the threats to humanity posed by intolerance and proposes methods and programs to combat intolerance.
In 1997, the UN General Assembly (resolution No. A/RES/51/95) also invited UN member states to celebrate this International Day. The General Assembly in this resolution refers to its decisions to observe the United Nations Year for Tolerance; refers to the UN Charter, which establishes that the principle of tolerance must be applied in the prevention of wars; takes into account the decision of UNESCO to approve the Declaration of Principles of Tolerance.
In his message in 2005 on the occasion International Day dedicated to tolerance, Secretary General The UN says that the fight against intolerance is one of the main activities of the UN. With population growth and increased migration throughout the world, xenophobia and extremism are on the rise. Tolerance, the message says, means knowing more friend about each other, bringing out the best in each other's traditions and beliefs. We need to respect each other as individuals who independently determine their own identity, religious and cultural affiliation, as individuals who understand that we can value our own characteristics without hating the characteristics of others.
Vladislav Lentorsky offers 4 possible ways understanding of tolerance:
1) tolerance as indifference (the existence of opinions, the truth of which can never be proven) - religious views, values of different cultures, ethical beliefs, convictions, etc.
2) tolerance as the impossibility of mutual understanding (limits the manifestation of tolerance to respect for another, whom at the same time it is impossible to understand and with whom it is impossible to interact).
3) tolerance as condescension (a privileged position in a person’s mind of one’s own culture, therefore all others are assessed as weaker: they can be tolerated, but at the same time despised).
4) tolerance as an extension own experience and critical dialogue - allows you not only to respect someone else’s position, but also to change your own as a critical dialogue. This approach is the most desirable in the current situation.
Basic principles of tolerance.
These principles include, first of all,:
· rejection of violence as an unacceptable means of introducing a person to any idea. Voluntariness of choice, “freedom of conscience”, emphasis on the sincerity of beliefs.
· the ability to force oneself without forcing others. Fear and external coercion do not contribute to the formation of tolerance, although as an educational factor in certain moment discipline people, while forming certain morals;
· tolerance, in the European understanding, sets an example of “law-abiding”, submission to laws, traditions and customs. Submission to laws, rather than to the will of the majority or one individual, seems important factor social development;
· acceptance of the OTHER, who may differ according to various characteristics - national, racial, cultural, religious, etc.
Forming relationships according to the “golden” rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
