Another wonderful international holiday has arrived - Day of Tolerance. In modern terms, November 16 is Tolerance Day. This date appeared in 1995 at the initiative of UNESCO, as a result of the adoption of the Declaration of Principles of Tolerance.
We are talking, first of all, about mutual respect for different world cultures, religions and traditions, as well as tolerance for the ways in which each individual person expresses his or her own individuality. Respect the characteristics of your people and be tolerant of the rituals and identity of all humanity - the UN calls for this, then most of the disagreements and wars on the planet will disappear into oblivion. Celebrating Tolerance Day, Russians join the peace-loving community of earthlings.
It is very important in our world,
In the age of progress, speed,
Be kinder and more tolerant
And open to people.
Do less evil, do good,
It’s impossible without him.
Let kindness into your hearts,
Happy holiday to all of you, friends.
It's not difficult to be tolerant.
Let us, friends, from now on,
We try our best
Be kinder and more tolerant!
International Day for Tolerance (in other official UN languages: English International Day for Tolerance, Spanish Día Internacional para la Tolerancia) is 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 recognizes that human beings are by nature different in appearance, attitude, 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 2005 message on the occasion of the International Day for Tolerance, the UN Secretary-General said 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 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.
On November 15-16, 2016, an event dedicated to the International Day of Tolerance was held at the Orenburg State Medical University.
On November 16, 1995, UNESCO Member States adopted the Declaration of Principles on Tolerance. In 1996, the UN General Assembly invited member states to celebrate the International Day for Tolerance on November 16 each year with events aimed at both educational institutions and the general public. The Declaration of Principles of Tolerance proclaims that all human beings 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. The most effective means of preventing intolerance, according to the declaration, is education, which begins with teaching people what their common rights and freedoms are, to ensure the exercise of these rights, and by encouraging the desire to protect the rights of others.
The purpose of the action is to foster a sense of respect among students for each other, the customs, traditions and cultures of different peoples.
Organizers of the event: Volunteer movement of OrSMU students, social work department, student councils of OrSMU dormitories.
On November 15, 2016, a mass awareness-raising event dedicated to the International Day of Tolerance was held in the student dormitories and academic buildings of the university, during which activists of the Volunteer Movement of OrSMU Students invited everyone to write on multi-colored palms - symbols of the day - how they understand the word tolerance and stick a bright sticker on the poster. At the end of the action, bright posters were created, combined into one with the motto of the day “We are together, we are united.”
On November 16, 2016, the quest “We are together, we are united” was held in student dormitory No. 2. Five teams took part in the game - representatives of three student dormitories, the Association of Student Curators and the Volunteer Movement of Ordinary State Medical University students. The acting guests were invited as guests of honor. Vice-Rector for Educational, Social Work and Public Relations T.K. Samodelkina, head of the social work department O.N. Kargina and the commandant of hostel No. 2 U.G. Bekenova.
Each team was tasked with going through 8 thematic stations dedicated to the culture and traditions of the peoples inhabiting Russia. Despite the fact that during the quest the participants were divided into teams, at the end of the game everyone united at one large table with sweet national dishes and tea.
Tolerance Day has become a real holiday for university students, whose lives are built on the principles of non-violence and tolerance, respect and understanding of the individuality of each person! Happy holiday!

Teacher's word: I welcome the guests of our event!Our meeting is dedicated to learning to live together, accepting each other as we are, learning to understand each other. At the beginning I would like to tell you one legend:
Did you like this legend? What is it about? What does it teach? All these concepts can be combined in one word. And this word - tolerance
Of course, you may not know this word, but in the modern world where you live, you will hear it more than once. In life, a person communicates with representatives of different nationalities, cultures, religions, and social classes, so it is important to learn to respect the cultural values of both one’s own people and representatives of other cultures and religions.
And you will probably feel awkward if you don’t know the meaning of this word. What does the word tolerance mean? How is this word defined in different languages?
Teacher: Today is November 16th.

Teacher: The concept of tolerance is very broad, in one lesson we will not be able to talk about all types, but let’s at least see what types of tolerance there are:
What do you think, for you and me, living in a small but multinational town, what type of tolerance will be the closest and why? In order to be more tolerant of people of other nationalities, you need to know a lot about the characteristics of different cultures, read a lot, and be interested.
The 19th century critic Nikolai Dobrolyubov was right when he said that a person who hates another people does not love his own.”

Teacher: Tolerance is a concept that occurs every day. It's everyday. At the end of the 60s, a poster was created in Germany. It was created by philosophers and activists of the youth movements of 1968. Leading: What is this poster? These are just seven lines, written as if by hand.
Presenter: “Your Jesus is a Jew. Your car is Japanese. Your coffee is Brazilian. Your numbers are Arabic. Your letters are Latin. Your democracy is Greek. After all this, is your neighbor just a foreigner?”
Teacher: The concept of the poster is thata person always uses cultural achievements, the experience of other nations (letters, numbers, democracy);
everyday work of other peoples (coffee is grown in one country, vacations are spent in other countries, cars from different countries are used). Is it possible to look down on people of other nationalities and skin colors?! Is it good or bad that we are all different?
Poem by S. Marshak “World Round Dance”
Poems for children of all nations and countries:
For the Abyssinians and the English,
For Spanish children and for Russians,
Swedish, Turkish, German, French.
Blacks, whose homeland is the African coast;
For the redskins of both Americas.
For the yellow skinned ones who get up
It is necessary when we go to bed.
For the Eskimos, in the cold and snow
They climb into a fur bag for the night.
From tropical countries, where in the trees
There are countless monkeys;
For children dressed and naked.
Those who live in cities and villages.
All this noisy, perky people
Let them gather in one round dance.
Let the north of the planet meet the south,
West - with the East,
And the children are with each other.
Teacher: What is this poem about? Children of all colors should be friends with each other. Now I suggest watching the video clip “Tell Me Why” (performed by Declan Galbraith). You have been studying English since the second grade, and therefore everything that the boy sings about will be understandable to you. I would like to draw your attention to the background of the video clip. This is important for the full perception of the video clip. What is the main idea of the video clip?
Leading: To be tolerant means to respect others regardless of differences. This means being considerate of others and paying attention to what brings us together.We are all different, we are all equal!
Presenter: Tolerance is recognition, respect and observance of the rights and freedoms of all people, without distinguishing between social, religious, ethnic and other characteristics.
Teacher: Recently, there has been a catastrophic increase in all kinds of antisocial behavior. In some situations a person does the right thing and shows his good qualities, but sometimes it happens the other way around.
Scene about tolerant attitude towards people
A poorly dressed man is walking. A young man and a girl are walking. A man falls, injures his leg, groans quietly, and has tears in his eyes.
Young woman: Wait, I'll go to him.
Young man: Don't you dare. It's dirty, you'll catch an infection. (grabs your hand)
Young woman: Let go. You see, his leg is broken. Look, there's blood on his pant leg.
Young man: What do we care? He himself is to blame.
Young woman: Put my hand down, you're hurting me. He needs help.
Young man: I'm telling you: it's all his own fault. He has to work, but he begs, steals, and gets drunk. Why help him?
Young woman: I'll come anyway. (pulled out her hand)
Young man: I won't let you in. You are my girlfriend and don’t you dare communicate with “stuff.”
Young woman: How can you? He's in pain! (pushed the guy away and walked up to the man) What's wrong with you? What's wrong with your leg?
Man: I broke her... I'm bleeding. I don’t know what to do or where the hospital is in this city. I'm not from here. I'm in a lot of pain.
Young woman: We need to call an ambulance. Listen, don't you have a cell phone? (The guy remained silent) Get out of here! Never call me or come again! I don't want to know you anymore.
Young man: Can you really do this because of some homeless person, an alcoholic? Stupid! You will regret this! (The guy leaves)
Young woman: You have an open fracture. Be patient! I'll call an ambulance. (Leaves)
Man: Young woman! Thank you! (The girl turned around and smiled) You will definitely find happiness for yourself!
Who acted nobly? What would you do? Having done good, a person himself becomes better, cleaner, brighter. If we are attentive to any person with whom we interact, be it a random fellow traveler, a tramp or a friend, this will be an act of kindness.

In 1996, the UN General Assembly invited member states to celebrate the International Day for Tolerance on November 16 each year with events aimed at both educational institutions and the general public.
The Declaration of Principles of Tolerance proclaims that all human beings 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.
At the 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 discrimination.
The most effective means of preventing intolerance, according to the declaration, is education, which begins with teaching people what their common rights and freedoms are, to ensure the exercise of these rights, and by encouraging the desire to protect the rights of others.
The United Nations is committed to promoting tolerance by enhancing mutual understanding among cultures and peoples. This urgent need lies at the heart of the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is even more relevant in the current era of increasing and violent extremism, the spread of radicalism and the expansion of conflicts, one of the hallmarks of which is a complete disregard for human life.
Recent years have seen a sharp rise in incidents of intolerance, extremism and violence around the world. This alarming trend is partly fueled by a growing tendency to define differences in terms of identity rather than in terms of opinions or interests. As a result, individuals and entire communities become targets of violence and cruelty simply because of their ethnic, religious, national or other identity.
Such threats, whether large-scale genocide or everyday humiliation due to prejudice, should alarm everyone. Each of us must strive to uphold the principles of tolerance, pluralism, mutual respect and peaceful coexistence. We must always be prepared to challenge stereotypes and misconceptions and advocate for victims of discrimination.
On the International Day of Tolerance, we must reaffirm the message that diversity in thought, belief and action is a gift, not a threat. It is necessary to strive to create more tolerant communities in whose lives this fundamental ideal is ingrained.
In 1995, to commemorate the UN Year for Tolerance and the 125th anniversary of the birth of Mahatma Gandhi, UNESCO established the Madanjit Singh Prize (Indian artist, writer and diplomat, UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador) for the Promotion of Tolerance and Non-violence, which recognizes active activities in scientific, artistic, cultural or communication fields aimed at creating an atmosphere of tolerance and non-violence.
The prize is awarded every two years, and its presentation is timed to coincide with the International Day for Tolerance. The Prize may be awarded to institutions, organizations or individuals for significant contributions and effective work in promoting tolerance and non-violence.
Thus, in 2014, the laureates of the Prize were human rights activists Ibrahim Ag Idbaltanat (Mali) and Francisco Javier Estevez Valencia (Chile), and in 2016 the prize was awarded to the Russian Federal Scientific and Methodological Center in the Field of Psychology and Pedagogy of Tolerance (Center tolerance).
