After that we gathered group from Youth Club Active and started to think more deeper about appeared idea. We were talking a lot about how it is important to people to understand that we are all different, but we live on the same Earth, to respect different traditions and religions, to think about tolerance, to communicate with people of different attitudes. Nowadays, it become very relevant to focus on tolerance, as problem with refugees in Europe very high and a lot of people hate them. From leader of our organization we found out about opportunity to participate in seminar „Formula 2“ in Riga, Latvia that work on our idea deeper and try to realize it in action. We decided there to continue the topic of tolerance. In our opinion it is very important for youth in the age between15-20 to break stereotypes and build communication with different people. It is better to have your own opinion and experience in communication with different cultures, backgrounds and people from different social groups. Our faith and culture should not divide us but unite.The main aims and objectives: 1. To explore and overcome prejudices, stereotypes that disturb intercultural dialog and focus on tolerant thinking2.
