Sažetak
The position of tolerance in education is of dual importance: it
is both the subject of teaching and a feature of the relationship
between the participants in the process of education. It is
maintained in this paper that the selection of teaching subjectmatter
as well as the modes and conditions of teaching are equally
important. Based on contemporary experience, the authoress
tells us about the contents and achievements of human rights'
teaching and the tasks of education in developing tolerance.
Recent research (especially of western countries) has uncovered
a need to broaden the socializational role of schools and to deepen
the connections between school and society. Teaching about
human rights depends on how important human rights and tolerance
are to the society. Only clear expression of tolerance on all
levels of behavior in the whole society, and true, not declarative,
recognition of human rights in everyday life can ensure the necessary
conditions for a broad socialization of these values. One
possibility for reaching such a goal resides within the inter-culturalist
concept which seems suitable for teaching in the spirit of tolerance
(and human rights) in modern pluralist societies. Tolerance
is not a contemplative attitude, an act of pardoning what was,
or is. It is a dynamic attitude that consists of anticipation, understanding
and promotion of what will be. The diversity of cultures
stands beyond us, around us and ahead of us.
