Progress of the lesson

Teacher

The world is the Universe. The world is our Earth. The world is our country. The world is our city. The world is our school. The world is me. How diverse the world around us is. We are all so different: adults and children, blondes and brunettes, kind and evil, plump and thin, bald and with pigtails, smart and not very smart. And we all must live and understand each other. There is such a beautiful word “tolerance” (the word appears on the board). How do you understand it?

Teacher

Tolerance is quite difficult to describe, perhaps because it is defined differently in different languages ​​(definition cards are pinned to the board).

In English, tolerance is “the willingness and ability to accept a person without protest.”

In French, tolerance is “respect for the freedom of another, his way of thinking.”

In Arabic, tolerance is “forgiveness, forbearance, compassion, patience.”

In Persian, tolerance is “readiness for reconciliation.”

The Russian dictionary interprets tolerance as tolerance - the ability to tolerate something or someone, to tolerate a different way of life, different behavior, feelings, opinions, ideas. To be self-possessed, to be able to put up with the existence of someone, to take into account the opinions of others, to be lenient.

Teacher

Now we will work in pairs . Each couple has provisions on the table taken from world religions. Think about what each religion says:

• “Don’t do to someone else what hurts you.”
• “In everything that you want people to do to you, do so to them.”
• “Consider your neighbor’s success your success and your neighbor’s loss your loss.”
• “In happiness and suffering, in joy and sorrow, we must treat all beings as we treat ourselves.”

Teacher

Express these thoughts in your own words.

What is the general meaning of these statements?

Of course, guys, everything is true: “People should be lenient with each other, more tolerant, respect the opinions of others. They must be tolerant of each other."

But tolerance must have a face! Tolerance must have some qualities of its own. What qualities do you think tolerance should have?

Let's try to characterize a person who has a tolerant attitude (work in groups).

So let's try it. You have an envelope on the tables for each group with different qualities of a person. Try to choose five qualities that, in your opinion, correspond to a tolerant person (the class is divided into groups into rows, an envelope is placed on the first desk of each row-group).

Envelope 1: condescension, gloating, lies, conflict, kindness, respect, understanding, peacefulness, heartlessness, compassion, generosity, tactlessness, forgiveness, rudeness, warmth.

Envelope 2: kindness, warmth, tolerance, boasting, equality, rudeness, mercy, arrogance, compassion, cooperation, respect, generosity, understanding, anger.

Envelope 3: peacefulness, heartlessness, forgiveness, equality, respect, mercy, tolerance, temper, dialogue, irritation, cordiality, conflict, compassion, generosity.

Teacher

Guys! Let's check what we have done (a representative of each group reads out the answer of his group, then cards with the qualities that are most often encountered are attached to the board).

Thus, guys, we have grown an associative bush for the concept of “tolerance”.

Think about it, do we all have these qualities? Can we all calmly listen to each other? To support people in difficult times, to understand people who are different from us, to resolve conflicts peacefully?

Can we change ourselves? Can we cultivate in ourselves the qualities we are talking about today? How can we do this?

Teacher

To do this, you and I will play the game “Let’s give each other compliments.”

Let us prove to each other that we are kind, understanding, tolerant people.

Each of us is pleased when he is praised, good, kind words are said about him, especially when it is deserved.

Any person wants to be loved and respected, appreciated and understood, and very often we simply need to hear kind words and wishes from the people around us. After all, this improves our mood and we are ready to share our joy and help others.

Now each of you who sits on the “magic chair” and picks up a magic wand will learn a lot of good things about yourself, and all the other guys will tell you about the positive qualities of this person.

For example: thank you for being such a kind and considerate friend; I like the way you laugh and joke; you are great at helping others.

Teacher

After all the children have been on the “magic chair,” the teacher discusses with the class what the children felt during the exercise:

• Did you like this yoke?
• Why?
• What new things have you learned about each other?
• Were the compliments the same or different?
• Why different?

Indeed, guys, every person is unique, every person is an individual, a person with his own characteristics. If we were all the same, life in the world would simply not be interesting.

Teacher

And finally, listen to these lines of A. Usachev’s poem “The Amazing Dwarf”.

There was an amazing house by the river. An amazing gnome lived in that house. His beard grew to the floor, and in that beard lived a Star.

This dwarf knew neither worries nor worries. The star illuminated the whole house and lit the stove, and cooked porridge, and told him fairy tales before bed...

And the dwarf scratched his beard with admiration, Which was, of course, pleasing to the Star. She fed only on crumbs of bread, and at night she flew to the sky for a walk.

So the years and centuries went by slowly... But one day the flour in the house ran out. And the gnome, having said goodbye to the hatched stove, went to the city across the river at dawn.

And in that city they didn’t wear beards.

- Ha-ha, Ho-ho-ho! - the people began to laugh - What a scarecrow! - everyone told him. And the dwarf got scared.

And he shaved his beard.

And his beard fell to the floor, And then his star set. There is now an ordinary house near the river. An ordinary gnome lives in this house.

His beard grew again, but the Star never returned to him.

Yes, guys, you always need to remember, we are all very different, each has its own characteristics, not to mention the inner world of each person. We must respect the individuality of each person, because we are all people, we have differences, but each of us is not the same and is needed by everyone else.

Unfortunately, people are not always tolerant of each other, but I hope that the time will come when all people will treat each other with respect, and no one will offend anyone. Each person will have his own beliefs, will defend his point of view, and all people will learn to negotiate, and will not fight, swear, or conflict.

Let your star always live with you, amazing, unique, independent and friendly.

Homework.

Creative work – Image of tolerance.

Teacher

We have already given the characteristics of a person who has a tolerant attitude. Now let's try to create an image of tolerance (the kids need to draw an image, make an applique, make a composition from plasticine, use photographs, soft toys or any other materials).

And remember that on earth small and big, fat and thin, white and black, cats and dogs, adults and children, Africa and Eurasia should be friends... they should be able to negotiate with each other.

And at the next class hour we will see what images you have created. Each of you will be able to defend your image of tolerance.

Day of Tolerance

The International Day of Tolerance is celebrated annually around the world on November 16th. This number was not chosen by chance; it was on this day in 1995 that the Declaration of Principles of Tolerance and the Program of Action was adopted by resolution of the General Conference of UNESCO. In 1996, the General Assembly invited UN member states to celebrate the International Day for Tolerance on November 16 each year and to organize relevant events to coincide with it.

The Declaration defines tolerance as “respect, acceptance and proper understanding of the rich diversity of cultures of our world, our forms of self-expression and ways of expressing human individuality.” The Declaration proclaims “the recognition that human beings, by nature, differ in appearance, position, speech, behavior and values, have the right to live in peace and maintain their individuality.”

Despite the fact that the declaration consists of only 6 articles, its adoption is very important for the entire world community, because tolerance is what we all lack today. After all, we really want mutual understanding and friendly attitude towards each other to reign in the world, regardless of what country we live in, what skin color we have, what religion we support.

If we were tolerant of other people's worldviews, then perhaps there would be fewer conflicts. We all have our own unique personality, which everyone needs to understand.

In his message in 2005 on the occasion of the International Day of Tolerance, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said that the fight against intolerance is one of the main activities of the UN. With population growth and increased migration throughout the world, xenophobia and extremism are on the rise. “Tolerance,” the message says, “means knowing more about each other, bringing out the best in each other’s traditions and beliefs.”

We need to respect each other as individuals who independently determine their own identity, religious and cultural affiliation, as individuals who understand that we can value our own characteristics without hating the characteristics of others.

The most effective means of preventing intolerance, according to the Declaration, is education, which begins with teaching people what their general rights and freedoms are, to ensure the exercise of these rights, and by encouraging the desire to protect the rights of others.

But tolerance does not only mean recognizing the existence of the “other.” Tolerance means the ability of the “other” to feel comfortable in any host society.

For example, tolerance towards people with disabilities is not only recognition of their equality based on the principles of human rights, but also the creation of a comfortable environment for the existence of people with alternative needs.

Tolerance also does not mean acceptance of all cultural and social groups. Any political groups that profess hatred, national, racial, religious and other exclusivity cannot be objects of tolerance.

There is even a slogan: “No tolerance for intolerance!”

In this regard, one of the tasks is not only the education of tolerance, but also the prevention of extremism on national, racial, religious and other grounds.

The principles of tolerance as fundamental rights and freedoms are enshrined in legal acts and proclaimed in international declarations. The basic documents are the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

The European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms operates within the framework of the Council of Europe. The prohibition of racism and racial discrimination is enshrined in the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities, and other documents.

In the Russian Federation, the main document for a broad definition of tolerance is the Constitution. According to part two of article twenty-nine: “Propaganda or agitation that incite social, racial, national or religious hatred and enmity are not permitted. Propaganda of social, racial, national, religious or linguistic superiority is prohibited.”

In the field of racism and racial discrimination, Article 136 of the Criminal Code “Violation of equality of rights and freedoms of man and citizen” and Article 282 “Responsibility for actions aimed at inciting national and racial hatred, humiliation of national dignity, propaganda of exclusivity, superiority” are recognized as the main ones. or inferiority of citizens based on their nationality or race.”

Such attention to the issue of tolerance in our country is not accidental, because our country is multinational. Indeed, on the territory of Russia, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Tatars, Karelians, Chuvash, Bashkirs, Yakuts, Dagestanis, Adygeis, Mordovians, Komi, Udmurts, Khanty, Mansi, Nenets, Greeks, Jews, Armenians, Georgians and many live together with Russians. many others - about two hundred nationalities in all.

It is probably no coincidence that the Constitution of our country begins with these words: “We, the multinational people of the Russian Federation...”

Let's think about these lines. They say that there are many nationalities in Russia, but they are all one people.

All people living on the territory of our state are equal citizens. This means that not just any single nation, but a multinational people must make all decisions that affect the fate of our country, because its development as a whole depends on this. We are connected to each other by visible and invisible threads, and it is in our interests to make our lives happy, comfortable, joyful, so that the next generation not only continues our traditions, but also admires our ability to do good and be tolerant of each other.

By the way, in 1995, to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the birth of the famous Indian human rights activist and political figure Mahatma Gandhi, UNESCO established the Madanjit Singh Prize (Indian artist, writer and diplomat, UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador) for the promotion of tolerance and non-violence, which is awarded for active activities in scientific, artistic, cultural or communication fields aimed at creating an atmosphere of tolerance and non-violence.

The Prize is awarded every two years and can be awarded to institutions, organizations or individuals for significant contributions and effective work in promoting tolerance and non-violence. In 2016, this prestigious international award was awarded to the Russian Federal Scientific and Methodological Center in the Field of Psychology and Pedagogy of Tolerance (Tolerance Center).

On the International Day of Tolerance, every person should think about the fact that every person on planet Earth is an individual, regardless of cultural, racial or religious affiliation. By respecting the people who surround us, it is much easier to achieve understanding, which is the key to the harmonious development of society.

Lack of tolerance, on the contrary, leads to a loss of mutual respect and stimulates the emergence of negative social phenomena. In this case, the launch of a process leading to a loss of harmony in the society of a particular state and the world as a whole is inevitable.

Unfortunately, the last decade has brought humanity a lot of evil, aggression and cases of intolerance towards representatives of other religions, other races, and other states. The International Day for Tolerance reminds us all that violence, terrorism, ethnic and religious persecution are phenomena that have no place in the 21st century.

Today, before our eyes, the politics of exclusivity and the language of disunity are gaining strength. Before our eyes, diversity is being rejected as a source of weakness. Before our eyes, myths telling about the traditions of so-called “pure” cultures, fueled by ignorance and sometimes hatred, are blossoming. Before our eyes, “other people” are declared the culprits of all troubles and are persecuted. Before our eyes, terrorists are committing barbaric attacks, seeking to undermine the foundations of the principle of “living together.”

“By respecting other people, we first of all respect ourselves” is a principle that can change the world for the better. That is why it runs like a red thread through all the festive events organized on the International Day of Tolerance. This is a time to remind each other that we must all remain human to each other. And let our differences not be an obstacle to this.

It is no coincidence that the world-famous French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said: “If I am not like you in some way, I do not insult you at all, but, on the contrary, I reward you.” His words are a lesson to us, people living in the 21st century.
