Day 1: Tolerance Day

Today was the first day of the Awareness Week: Tolerance Day. During the
announcements I recited the pledge and presented the schedule by days. Miruna introduced everyone to the word of the day and Georgiana talked about Nelson Mandela, the famous
leader who is an inspiration for all. We asked everyone to take a quiz to see
how tolerant they were. The exercise of the day was a little challenge: teachers
seated pupils differently. We distributed the “Me and We” handout and asked
desk partners to complete it together.
We got our first feedback: many pupils realized even they were different from their new
partners, they had many things in common. And I’d say they’ve made the first

step to tolerance.
