Dance for tolerance

Slogan of the event:
Tell me - and I will forget
Show me - and I may remember
Involve me - and I will understand (Confucius)

A spectacular, cultural, seven hour multimedia event was organised after the street parade and was a campaign for tolerance and equal rights.
Various musicians, bands, dancers, performers and DJs drew attention and invited people to join us to dance for tolerance.
The dance aimed at increasing tolerance, solidarity and providing better life for all.

Break the silence, break the prejudices
Break the silence and banish the prejudices: these are the two objectives which Dance4tolerance sought to achieve, and judging from the feedback we managed to do achieve the goal.
There is a lot of tolerance talk nowadays but really talking to one another about the difficulties involved is an entirely different matter.
Dance4tolerance wanted to change the way in which young people are informed about tolerance, discrimination, gay rights, by doing so to break the silence.

Young people taking action themselves
Organisers of Dance4tolerance know that the youth and their perception of the world need to be at the heart of what one organises for them.
Young people only feel involved, when they are offered concrete means of involvement, when they can take action themselves. Prejudices surrounding homosexuals (homophobia) will be banished by utilising icons and role models coupled with a multimedia campaign, which constantly involve young people in the campaign. The activities will initiate peer-to-peer communication about tolerance, thereby enabling young people to educate each other. After all, young people accept more from their friends than anyone else.

Sharing information
Dance4tolerance certainly does not want there to be less talk about tolerance for all. Indeed, there is room for a great deal more talk about the subject, particularly on the part of young people. More than anything, sharing information with other young people needs to be fun.
