The following presentation was presented to the staff members of all schools participating in this project. The presentation aimed on informing the teachers about the meaning of tolerance and different ideas about activities related to this concept were presented from which the teachers had to choose to carry out with their pupils. Apart from the suggested activities teachers could propose and carry out any other activities relevant to the aims of the tolerance week that could be easily be integrated to their running curriculum.

LOCAL SCHOOLS TOURNAMENT: Our school organised two futsal tournaments during the implementation of the project with 4 other local schools. Before the tournament, our pupils informed the pupils from the other schools about our erasmus project, the aims and examples of activities carried out. Then, the pupils who did not participate in the game, created posters related to respect and fairplay while others chose to dance together with our PE teacher.
VOCABULARY EXERCISE: Year 3 pupils created a pledge of words with the same meaning to tolerance. First the meaning of the word was discussed in the class, then pupils with the aid of their dictionaries proposed synonyms and then in groups they wrote the words in 3D letters and decorated them. Then, the final result was displayed on the classroom walls.
VISIT EXCHANGES WITH THE SPECIAL SCHOOL: Our year 5 pupils visited the Special School in Nicosia where they were toured and then participated in blended activities with the pupils of the hosting school. Few months later, pupils from the Special School visited our school and apart from participating in activities they also sold bracelets they made to our pupils to collect money for some special equipment they needed. It is important to say that some year 5 pupils won a national art contest and they decided to give the money they won to the Special school again to buy some necessary equipment.
