A month of tolerance in Belgian schools

Belgium’s response to intolerance is one example of applied intercultural dialogue:

“After the attacks in Paris and in Copenhagen, Belgium launches “the month of tolerance”, the Francophone Education Minister Joelle Milquet said. She announced that during the month of March there will be an intensification of the initiatives aiming to promote intercultural dialogue in the schools of Wallonia and Brussels. External partners, including journalists, along with lawyers and the Movement against Racism, Anti-Semitism and Xenophobia, will support teachers in activities aimed at promoting dialogue of young students on democracy, terrorism, freedom of expression and intolerance. An initiative that through videos, documentaries, theater and more will try to inform students on the current events by spreading the values of intercultural and interreligious dialogue.”
