This year an International Tolerance Day was by marked by more than 900 schools, kindergartens and institutions of non-formal education. This year‘s symbol is a Tolerance Bird. Particpants of this civic initiative were offered to use a bird symbol so that they could develop the theme looking at the parallels of nature, people‘s life and history.
The Secretariat of the International Commission has been initiating the marking of this day for 14 years, and every year a number of educational institutions and school communities join the initiative.
