Teenage journalists from around the world did profiles of teens and of adults worthy of admiration who are making progress in the quest to get along despite differences that make some people the "other."
The project began on 16 November 2020, the UN International Day for Tolerance, with a first showcase on 24 January 2021, International Day for Education. More coming in 2022.
