UPF chapters in Azerbaijan, Estonia, Georgia and Russia organized educational programs in a variety of settings related to the UN International Day for Tolerance, Nov. 16.
“We can only advance as a community of nations and cultures, drawing on human solidarity and recognizing that we share a common destiny. This is why tolerance is so important,” Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in his message for the Day.
“Tolerance is not passive,” he added. “It demands an active choice to reach out on the basis of mutual understanding and respect, especially where disagreement exists. Tolerance means recognizing that our diversity is a strength – a wellspring of creativity and renewal for all societies.”
