Tolerance of schoolchildren of Tomsk in interethnic relations sphere

The paper presents the results of a survey of three students of Tomsk schools conducted in order to determine their level of tolerance in the field of interethnic relations. Two groups of students: the participants of cultural and educational program "Dialogue" as well as those who are in a similar program did not participate. Tolerance level was measured by three methods. For each of the three methods have been identified in different groups of subjects, according to which each of them are characterized as follows: - Students who have participated in the program "Dialogue" as a whole demonstrate a higher level, as a general tolerance and ethnic, as well as much more tolerant attitude shown in the sphere of international relations. Guys who have not participated in the program "Dialogue", in addition to being found not high, as a general tolerance, and in the sphere of international relations (compared with participants), so also demonstrated a greater degree of commitment to the separation of its ethnic group. The latter circumstance is difficult to explain based only on data from one survey. Perhaps because of the lack of knowledge about the people, and therefore, having no grounds for identifying themselves as part of it, the child seeks to distance themselves from him. This is just a guess, to confirm or deny that it is possible only after spending an additional study. In general, our hypothesis, formulated at the beginning, was confirmed: the tolerance level students who participated in the program "Dialogue" is higher than that of those students who participate in the program did not accept. This finding suggests the effectiveness of the program "Dialogue" as one of the mechanisms of formation of tolerant plants in the school environment and the need to continue with a possible solution to a wider audience - students of universities and young people in general.
