Story

To mark the UN’s International Day for Tolerance on 16th November, we have created a fun, thoughtful and challenging programme that will help children spot misinformation, give up needing to be right, seek perspective, and resist indoctrination.

Activities include them coming up with 42 key moments in world history, competing for a young journalists prize with the Guardian Foundation, making short films with the BFI, reading a new graphic novel and a political satire written especially for the day, and taking part in a range of curriculum based lesson plans.

We started the initiative last year in the wake of the racial intolerance that emerged during the Brexit campaign, with 60 schools taking part.

Please get your school to sign up at http://www.toleranceday.org/
