The International Day for Tolerance was established by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1995. This was a year after the UN Year for Tolerance. The day commemorates the UNESCO's Declaration of Principles on Tolerance, which affirms that tolerance is respect and appreciation of the rich variety of our world's cultures, forms of expression, and ways of being human.
While International Day for Tolerance is not a public holiday in the United States, it is observed by various groups and organizations dedicated to promoting understanding and respect among different cultures.
Individuals might take personal actions such as educating themselves about other cultures or reaching out to people from different backgrounds. They may also participate in events organized by community groups that promote dialogue and understanding among various cultural groups within American society.
