Amalipe Center celebrated the International Day of Tolerance November 16, 2017 in dozens of settlements in the country under the motto "Tolerance - Unity of Differences". Various initiatives were organized by the local structures of the organization - the community development centers formed in 11 municipalities, together with the local development clubs and schools from the Amalipe Center network, included in the "Every student will be a winner" Project and teachers, students, representatives of institutions, citizens, activists and friends.

In 1996, the UN General Assembly called on member states to honor November 16 as a day of tolerance, with activities to spread the notion of mutual understanding among peoples. It was on 16 November 1995 that the UNESCO member states adopted the Declaration of Principles of Tolerance. The first is the definition of the term tolerance.

What is tolerance:

"Tolerance means respect, acceptance and understanding of the rich diversity of cultures in our world, of all forms of self-expression and means of manifestation of human individuality."

"To have tolerance - there must be knowledge, openness, communication, freedom of thought, conscience and belief."

"Tolerance - this is harmony in diversity, not just a moral duty but also a political and legal need."

"Tolerance is the highest virtue."

These are some of the messages we tried to convey during the campaigns organized across the country. And people responded with a smile and desire because they saw the aspirations of young people to fight and achieve a strong and united society, despite the differences.
