Pavlikeni
On 16 November the educational mediator Stefan Stefanov will give a presentation to the sixth form students on the occasion of the “Day of Tolerance”. The lecture will take place at the “St. Kliment Ohridski” Primary School in Pavlikeni. Snezhana Stefanova – speech therapist at the school will also participate in the meeting. The activity is aimed at raising public awareness about significant and successful personalities of Roma origin, in order to make students look at the ethnic group not as a different community, but as part of the whole society and to form a lasting social continuity. Tolerance means respect, acceptance and understanding of the rich diversity of cultures in our world, of all forms of self-expression and the means of manifesting human individuality. Specially prepared flyers about tolerance, made by parents and volunteers, will be distributed to the citizens of the municipality of Pavlikeni, urging them to be tolerant towards each other.
In this way, the participants will be invited to take part in a series of actions aimed at promoting tolerance between the two countries.
Volunteers from the town of Byala Slatina will celebrate “Tolerance Day” on 16 November. On the occasion of the campaign, a debate will be organized to express the differences in school. The volunteers will be divided into two teams. Each of them will have the task to defend a certain thesis: For or against children with disabilities in school. One team has to convince the meaning of their rights, the other will be against. The idea is to come to a consensus in their decisions, to overcome differences in school. To finish, coming to a tolerant solution they will present the conclusions of the meeting. The volunteers also produce a poster depicting their decision.
