Tolerance Program Write your own tolerance curriculum or program. This means deciding what are the component parts of tolerance, and how you think tolerant values can best be transmitted. Scrutinise your text books and televisions, newspapers and magazines for stereotyping, including gender typing, and assumptions about nationalities and ethnic groups. Act out the dynamics of tolerance and intolerance through role playing, dialogue, dilemma solving. Organise public debates, take sides in a debate, and then switch sides and speak for the opposite position.
Every community is based on interdependence.
Like the plants and animals, we couldn't survive if we were all the same. Start a project in your school or neighbourhood. Religious Tolerance Organise an event, with the participation of different religious and non-religious groups in your community, to discuss how tolerance is taught by these communities. Each of them, in its own way, is founded on love and justice, and cannot be used to justify violence or war. Dialogue and discussion between representatives of many religious groups is a tradition that goes back centuries, and is still valuable today.
