Tolerance Without Borders

Written By Richard Cawood

For the past 6 weeks I have been involved in an exciting new initiative from the Ministry of Tolerance - UAE in partnership with Sandooq Al Watan . "Tolerance without Borders" (TWB) is a pioneering program designed for students aged 16 and above across the UAE. TWB is dedicated to nurturing a culture of tolerance and peaceful coexistence among individuals, transcending geographical, cultural, and religious divides.

I have been leading the Tolerance Media team. alongside my esteemed colleague, Prof. Carlos Montaña PhD, from the Dubai Institute of Design and Innovation, who heads the Tolerance Planet team. Our collaboration and the online sessions culminated in a meaningful face-to-face meeting at the Ministry of Tolerance and Coexistence's offices in Dubai, marking a significant milestone in our project.

Our students are now gearing up for two exciting competitions, which will showcase their hard work and creativity in a digital showcase for Tolerance Planet and a Film Festival for Tolerance Media. Stay tuned for more updates on this inspiring journey towards fostering a more tolerant world.
