As a take away of what was discussed in this colloquium, we could say that tolerance, as a human value, is fundamental for the development of free thought and the healthy exchange of ideas. In this way, bridges of understanding and comprehension are created between individuals and societies. Tolerance is therefore fundamental to promoting a growing diversity of expressions that coexist in an increasingly connected world.

The activity was a success with participants, who were able to ask questions, thus promoting the aforementioned exchange of ideas.
