Embracing International Day of Tolerance 2024

The 16 November was originally proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1996 as International Day for Tolerance, in the wake of the racial and cultural conflicts, and included activities for educational institutions and the wider public.

It recognises the declaration that tolerance is “respect and appreciation of the rich variety of our world’s cultures, our forms of expression and ways of being human”.

At WATC we know that Diversity and Inclusion requires curiosity, respect and tolerance. We recognised the International Day for Tolerance by celebrating the ways in which we are all uniquely human. Our event included lunch, diversity bingo, and reflections on how we can show respect and tolerance as an organisation.
