Process:
In 2017, Sumy school #18 officially established intercultural education as a part of its curriculum which includes teaching the values of tolerance, respect to different cultures, and ethnic conflicts prevention. To create the atmosphere of tolerance - which is seen as a desire to appreciate every child's personality, regardless of their nationality, and to accept them as they are, - the school launched a series of courses and educational hours, for which the pupils were earning credits, like for any other course in the curriculum. Some of these courses were titled: "We are all different, we are all equal", "Tolerance as a nowadays requisite", "We are together under one sky", "I and we", "On Tolerance and Multiculturalism", "Respect everyone around", "Good neighbours live in peace", "Sources of tolerance", "The alphabet of tolerant communication in the team", and others.
The impact of the action will undergo an evaluation by the end of the school year 2017-2018.
Partnership: The action was implemented as a result of collaboration between school #18, Sumy City Hall and national minority organization.
