Tolerance can be increased by encouraging the understanding of bias and prejudice and working to remove these where we can. We work to find different ways to encourage children to learn about this, through lesson plans, books, games and competitions. This is where you can learn more about these opportunities.
Lack of knowledge and misinformation can cause fear and hatred, a key driver of bigotry and intolerance. Our aim is to help pupils to think critically about information – its sources, its accuracy and its purpose – to appreciate the complexity of ‘truth’ but also why it is important to seek it and not be gullible.

Guardian Education Centre |
Young Journalist of the year |

The Guardian Education Centre provides programmes that provide children to interact with the news and get a realistic understanding of what it means to work in a busy news organisation.

The Learn2Think Young Journalists Prize, in conjunction with the Guardian Foundation and The Week Junior.
For the first time ever, in 2017 we held a competition for children aged 8-11 to have their voices heard as the ‘truth detectives’ of their generation. www.toleranceday.org/young-journalist-prize-202122.html Click here for more information on 2021/22's competition. We not only want to find out what matters to them, but also get them thinking critically, for themselves, so that they can start to identify misinformation, develop a reasoned argument, and give voice to their own unique thoughts and opinions. The prize is to get their story published or podcast aired and receive a laptop to continue their writing/recording. |
