The International Day of Tolerance,
which is celebrated on 16th November,
was proclaimed by the UNESCO in

WHY DO WE
CELEBRATE IT?
Objective
,We celebrate the International Day for Tolerance every November 16
to help spread tolerance and raise awareness of any intolerance that
may still be prevalent in the world today. Although we should be
tolerant every day, it’s always good to have one occasion to remind us
to give appreciation to other cultures around the world. Only that way,
can the world truly be in peace and harmony.
