Topic:

Tolerance Poster Workshop

Brief description:

The idea for this workshop is for participants to create a Tolerance Poster. Because the subject of Tolerance is very wide, to make an impactful poster, participants will need to choose some aspect of Tolerance or Intolerance that they are familiar with, or that is close to their heart.

There can be many issues that go from tolerance/respect towards animals, tolerance/respect for gender rights, tolerance/respect for elderly peoples' rights, tolerance/respect for racial diversity, etc.
