The session of the Gabfest Club (at Window on America center Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine) started the session with the introductions of the newcomers. The official topic of the session was “Tolerance in the modern society”, it was moderated by the center’s volunteer Sergey. The group clarified the meaning of the notion.
According to the Declaration of Principles on Tolerance in 1995, tolerance is understood as "respect, acceptance and appreciation of the rich cultural diversity of our world." Tolerance is defined as the Declaration of "harmony in diversity". The main principles of Tolerance were introduced and each club members had a chance to illustrate this phenomenon with a real life case. The focus in the discussion was on cultural diversity in the modern society. The group read and translated several quotes and answered a dozen of questions about tolerance.
We hope that this session reminded the club members about this very important phenomenon.
Number of participants – 29.
