Tolerance, diversity and human rights - issues that lie at the
very core of democratic societies. Expecially in times of conflict
the question arises: Is it possible to promote tolerance, democracy
and human rights through education?
"Tolerance Matters" identifies fundamental issues in
the field of education for democracy, human rights and tolerance.
The 10 case studies compiled in this volume examine educational
responses in a wide range of cultural, social and economic contexts.
Set against an analytical framework that allows for comparison,
the case studies explore the complexities, challenges and opportunities
inherent in attempting to use education as a mechanism for fostering
understanding and tolerance.
With contributions from Brazil, Chile, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands,
Northern Ireland, the Philippines, Poland, South Africa and the
United States of America, this unique collection of case studies
offers a cross- and intercultural approach to the issue of education
for democracy.
