The International Day for Tolerance • 16th November every year • Set up by the UN after wars in Europe and Africa in the 1990s caused by people fighting over their differences

Our School How is our school diverse? • Languages spoken • Religions observed • Nationalities
Paired share • Share with your neighbour what you are? E.g. I am Hindu, short, shy • Share with your neighbour what you like? E.g. I love bananas, Taylor Swift, Pokemon Go
You Don’t Have to Agree I am not an “Arsenal fan” but I am OK if you are This is BEING TOLERANT I like “Brussel sprouts”, but I am OK if you don’t
What happens if we aren’t tolerant of each othersdifferences?
The ‘Them and Us’ Game • Today the teachers and I have decided that from now on, pupils with brown eyes will get sweets for lunch, double break and no homework
Luckily…. • We don’t have unfair rules like that at this school - all of you will be having break time, we’ll save the sweets for the staffroom • We are not ‘Them and Us’ we are One School with many differences • You are the ambassadors, you can make the world a more tolerant place
So, From Now On… • Find out more about each other • Speak up for people who are picked on for their differences • Control your anger when people are intolerant towards you
Starting today, on Tolerance Day [Insert specific lessons and activities school is participating in eg. survey, play, letter writing, paper chain] Get teacher to talk about specific activities
