In 1996, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 51/95 proclaiming 16 November as International Day for Tolerance. This action followed the adoption of a Declaration of Principles on Tolerance by UNESCO's Member States on 16 November 1995. Among other things, the Declaration affirms that tolerance is neither indulgence nor indifference. It is respect and appreciation of the rich variety of our world's cultures, our forms of expression and ways of being human. Tolerance recognizes the universal human rights and fundamental freedoms of others. People are naturally diverse; only tolerance can ensure the survival of mixed communities in every region of the globe. #InternationalDayForTolerance #UNResolution #CulturalDiversity #UNESCO #DiversityAndInclusion #GlobalCommunity

International Day for Tolerance is observed on November 16th each year. It was declared by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1996 to promote awareness about the importance of tolerance and to foster mutual respect and understanding among people of different cultures, religions, and backgrounds. The day aims to highlight the need for greater tolerance in societies, especially in light of the many conflicts and prejudices that persist around the world. It encourages governments, civil society organizations, and individuals to commit to working towards a more peaceful and inclusive world, where diversity is celebrated rather than feared. The observance of this day often includes various educational and cultural events, discussions, and initiatives aimed at raising awareness about issues related to intolerance, discrimination, and the importance of respecting human rights and dignity.

Today, we celebrate United Nations #InternationalDayoftheWorldsIndigenousPeoples, recognizing the rich cultural heritage and invaluable contributions of Indigenous communities around the globe. Their wisdom, traditions, and perspectives enrich the tapestry of our shared human experience. In the context of democracy, the importance of diversity and inclusivity cannot be overstated. A truly democratic society values and integrates the voices of all its members, including those from Indigenous communities. By embracing this diversity, we strengthen our democratic institutions and ensure that they are more representative, just, and equitable. At the heart of a thriving democracy is the principle that every voice matters. When we actively listen to and engage with Indigenous perspectives, we foster a culture of respect, understanding, and mutual learning. This inclusive approach not only enriches our public dialogues but also leads to more innovative and sustainable solutions to the challenges we face. #InternationalDayOfWorldsIndigenousPeoples #IndigenousRights #CulturalHeritage #ActiveListening #CommunityEngagement

Today is World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, started by UNESCO in 2001. The UN states that over 75% of all major conflicts have a cultural dimension. That’s why, even on just a small scale, it’s vitally important for us to each play our part in deepening our understanding of other cultures. If we can make cultural diversity the norm, not only can we make our lives more fulfilling on an intellectual, emotional, moral and spiritual level, but we also contribute towards peace, stability and development across the world.

Today is International Day for Tolerance. According to UNESCO’s 1995 Declaration of Principles on Tolerance: “Tolerance is respect, acceptance, and appreciation of the rich diversity of our world’s cultures, our forms of expression, and ways of being human.” Today, it’s especially important to remember that problems do not stem from the diversity of ways of understanding life and the world, but from one perspective trying to impose itself over others by force. Expressing differing views is constructive. The issue is not conflict, but the way we try to resolve it. Now more than ever, it’s essential to: • 🌎 Spread a culture of peace and non-violence as a tool for conflict resolution. • 🗳️ Strengthen democracy to protect diverse perspectives. • 🌈 Promote inclusion so that diversity brings out its best. • 📚 Foster education that develops critical thinking. • 🗣️ Ensure freedom of individual speech. #InternationalDayForTolerance #Tolerance #Inclusion #Diversity #PeaceBuilding #NonViolence #Democracy #CriticalThinking #FreedomOfSpeech #CulturalDiversity #ConflictResolution #EducationForPeace #GlobalUnity

Every year on May 21, we celebrate World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, also known as Diversity Day. This special day encourages us to appreciate the rich cultural diversities that exist among different countries, states, and people worldwide. It’s a reminder that cultural differences should be celebrated rather than leading to conflicts. In fact, a significant portion of major global conflicts about three quarters have cultural dimensions. To address this, the United Nations and UNESCO are actively working to promote dialogue and understanding among diverse cultures, with the ultimate goal of fostering peace in our world. 🌍🌟 #CulturalDiversity #InterculturalDialogue #PeaceAndDevelopment
