From November 10-15, Specialized Educational and Training School No. 21 celebrated Tolerance Week. As the school told Turkmenportal, the Week aimed to strengthen an atmosphere of cultural openness, mutual understanding, respect, and cooperation among students of all ages.
School volunteers played a special role in the preparation and implementation of the events. They not only participated in developing interactive activities and organizing flash mobs, but also acted as mentors for the younger classes, helping them master the basics of tolerant communication.

The main idea of the Week was to affirm the idea that differences between people are not an obstacle to communication, but rather contribute to social development and the strengthening of social potential.
The week began with the grand opening of "We Are So Different, But We Are Together." The ceremony was followed by a celebratory assembly. On this day, high school students prepared mini-performances dedicated to the role of tolerance in the modern world, while elementary school students participated in short skits demonstrating the value of friendship and mutual support.
Students in grades 5-12 participated in "Roads of Tolerance" training sessions aimed at developing emotional intelligence, listening skills, conflict avoidance, and constructive dialogue. Younger students, in turn, participated in an interactive game, "Journey to the Land of Tolerance," which introduced the children to the basics of kindness in an accessible, playful way.

On November 11, as part of "Getting to Know Each Other Day," schoolchildren participated in the quest game "You and Me – We're Both Different, and We're Both Cool." During the game, each team completed tasks aimed at finding common interests, demonstrating mutual support and the ability to work together.
Additionally, a "Polite Words" campaign was organized, during which children left positive messages for each other, forming a collection of "kind phrases."
The week culminated on November 12-13, under the theme "Kindness, Smile, and Friendship." One of the key initiatives was the "Share a Smile" campaign, during which youth groups created themed masks depicting positive emotions, distributed cards with well-wishes, and exchanged kind words.

The events included the "Being Kind Is Easy" campaign. Students also took part in the "My Kindness Day" flash mob, where they documented their positive actions, such as helping classmates, seeking support, and showing compassion to those in need.
November 14 was declared "Kindness Day" and marked by the vibrant "Friendship of Nations" music festival, which featured students in grades 9-12. A parallel essay contest, "Why Kindness?", was held, in which students in grades 5-8 reflected on the values of human participation, mutual assistance, and compassion in a rapidly changing world. The day concluded with a "Dancing Together" session, where participants had the opportunity to connect informally, explore their creative potential, and foster a spirit of friendship.
The school assembly on November 15 concluded the event. The school administration summarized the results, recognized the classes and students who demonstrated the greatest activity, and presented certificates of appreciation for their contribution to creating a positive atmosphere at the school.
Thus, Tolerance Week at school No. 21 became an important educational experience aimed at fostering a culture of respect, developing communication skills, and strengthening social ties.
