The "Ship of Tolerance" is a social awareness campaign to promote tolerance among children around the world where the underlying social message is the importance of spreading tolerance, starting with children and young teenagers.

At each location, the school children are asked to draw their idea of "tolerance" on a piece of cloth. All of the drawings are then sewn together to make the giant sail of a ship: the Ship of Tolerance.

The completed project will be showcased at a major event, as symbol of peace and tolerance; as a source of pride and hope for children working to build tolerance in the future; and as a source of inspiration for all.
