The World Is One For All

November 16, the International Day of Tolerance, foreign students of the Kabardino-Balkarian State University named after H. M. Berbekov visited the pupils of the Nalchik Boarding School No. 1.

Students from India, Egypt, Congo, Rwanda, Sudan, Ethiopia and Turkey perfectly understand what it means to respect the national and cultural traditions of other nations. Living in Russia, in Kabardino-Balkaria, they try to learn as much as possible about the history, culture and customs of a new country. To do this, they learn Russian, thanks to their curators, they travel a lot to places of interest in the North Caucasus.

The meeting of students with the children studying in a boarding school was very warm and welcoming. Foreign guests gave their young friends wonderful creative performances. Students performed national songs and dances, told about native countries.

Grateful audience did not skimp on the applause, which did not cease throughout the evening.

Reference:

In Russia, the day of tolerance is called the International Day of Tolerance. On November 16, 1995, at the 28th General Conference of UNESCO, the “Declaration of Principles of Tolerance” was adopted.

Tolerance in the Declaration means “respect, acceptance and correct understanding of the rich diversity of cultures of our world, our forms of self-expression and ways of manifestation of human individuality”.

The declaration proclaims «the recognition that people, by their nature, differ in appearance, position, speech, behavior and values, have the right to live in the world and preserve their individuality.»

In the modern global world, tolerant attitudes towards other religious, national and cultural traditions, respect for individuality and identity are relevant as never before.
