Gratulacje! Postępując zgodnie z podanymi krokami, udało Ci się poszerzyć swoją wiedzę na temat tolerancji i nietolerancji i wykonałeś świetną robotę.
Temat tolerancji, zróżnicowanego miejsca pracy i nietolerancji dotyczy tworzenia integracyjnego i akceptującego środowiska, w którym ludzie z różnych środowisk mogą współpracować bez obawy przed dyskryminacją lub uprzedzeniami.
Obejmuje ona promowanie szacunku, zrozumienia i uznania dla różnic rasowych, etnicznych, płciowych, orientacji seksualnej, religii i innych cech osobistych. Z drugiej strony nietolerancja odnosi się do braku akceptacji lub szacunku dla różnic innych osób i może prowadzić do dyskryminacji, nękania i wykluczenia. Tworzenie kultury tolerancji i integracji jest niezbędne do budowania pozytywnego i produktywnego miejsca pracy, w którym każdy może się rozwijać.
Dziękuję za waszą pracę! 🙂

Zacznijmy więc od tego WebQuestu!
In this WebQuest, you can work in small groups of 2-3. There are four tasks waiting for you in the WebQuest. Let's look at them.
TASK 1
You first task is to learn more about the terms of tolerance and intolerance.
TASK 2
Your second task is to support tolerance in your everyday life.
TASK 3
Your next task is to learn about the advantages of a diverse workplace.

Intolerance refers to a lack of acceptance, respect, or tolerance towards beliefs, opinions, or behaviors that differ from one's own. It can manifest in various ways, including discrimination, prejudice, hatred, and bigotry.
Intolerance can be directed towards individuals or groups based on their race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, political views, or other characteristics. It can lead to exclusion, marginalization, and mistreatment of those who are perceived as different or "other."
TASK 2
Your second task is to support tolerance in your everyday life.
One real-life story that illustrates the importance of tolerance happened in the United States in 2019. In New York, there was a woman named Susan who lived next to a Muslim family. Susan had prejudices against Muslims and felt threatened by their religion and culture.
One day, Susan fell ill and was forced to stay at home. Her Muslim neighbors decided to help her by bringing her food so she wouldn't have to go shopping. Susan was surprised and touched by their kindness. Thanks to this situation, Susan became more interested in Islam and learned more about this culture. She gradually realized that her prejudices were based on ignorance and misunderstanding. She started to build better relationships with her Muslim neighbors and became more open and tolerant towards their culture and religion.
This story teaches us that prejudices and ignorance can lead to hatred and conflicts, but openness, empathy, and a willingness to get to know and understand others can lead to change and better relationships.

Step 5 – My career goal
Let's think about our career goals. First, let's focus on what it is!
A career goal is a specific objective or target that you set for your professional development, usually for a defined period of time. It is a desired achievement or accomplishment that you want to reach within your career, such as earning a promotion, landing a new job, developing new skills, or starting your own business.
Depending on how much time you anticipate spending working toward your objective, career goals can be classified as short-term or long-term. In the end, reaching your intermediate and long-term professional objectives will help you get closer to your desired career path.
Example:
Andy’ career goal is: becoming a thought leader
Short-term goals: attending specialized training sessions, relevant classes, professional conferences, and growing a social media following.
Long-term goals: publishing papers, writing a book, speaking at conferences, and obtaining a professional credential or advanced degree.
My career goal is: ..............................................................................................................

Step 6 - Determine your short- and long-term goals
Wonderful! You have already gone through so many steps!
Please, think about the short-term and long-term goals to the aforementioned career goal. It would be great if you could come up with 3 examples each. Remember that creative thinking can be a valuable asset in achieving both short and long-term goals, as it enables you to think outside the box, find new solutions and opportunities, adapt to change, and enhance your problem-solving skills. Try to use it! 🙂

The purpose of creating a vision board is to help a person clarify their goals and focus their energy and attention on achieving them. By creating a tangible representation of their aspirations, a person can better visualize their desired outcome, which can help them stay motivated and committed to taking action towards their goals.
A vision board can be created using a variety of materials, including magazines, newspapers, photos, drawings, and quotes. It can be made on a physical board, a digital platform, or in a journal. The key is to create a visual representation of what you want to achieve, so you can see it and feel it every day.
