Our project ideas are spreading around school....
Tolerance also means a respectful exchange or interaction between young people with different cultural backgrounds or world views.
In this sense, intercultural dialogue processes or encounters go beyond a mere 'tolerance of the other' . And our 5th graders started their own campaign for intercultural dialogue by exchanging letters and postcards with peers from Turkey and Poland..Thus, our project ideas cross borders ...

Tolerance and Intercultural Dialogue

http://www.sofrony.net/en/index.php
From 14^th to 16^th December, 2010 , the Bulgarian T.I.M.E. team had guests from Uskudar Doga Anadolu Lisesi, Istanbul. The student exchange visit was planned as a part of the activities, intended to make participants meet other cultures and become more aware of cultural diversity and the need of knowing foreign cultures and languages. It provided an opportunity for an intercultural dialogue, an open and respectful exchange of world views and interaction between young people from both schools.

Moreover, it  highlighted the contribution of our cultures to the European heritage and way of life and recognized that intercultural dialogue is essential for learning to live together in harmony.

      We hope the exchanged visits between our schools will be of benefit to both students and teachers and will develop our students` social skills and life competences further more.
