The recent data of monitoring show that the dedicated website Spbtolerance.ru becomes a main information channel of the St.Petersburg Government program "Tolerance" and a source of the news on etnic topics.
This-year overhaul of the site has significantly increased the interest of residents of St.Petersburg and Russia, as well as foreign countries, in the work of municipal authorities aimed at harmonizing inter-ethnic and intercultural relations, preventing the xenophobia, and promoting the tolerance. According to the monitoring data, the geography of the site visitors includes such countries as Ukraine, Germany, Finland, Netherlands, Israel, USA, Azerbaijan, Belarus, etc., despite the fact that so far, only Russian-language version is working. The English version of the site is planned to be introduced in October.
To make the site be up to the level of claimed subject matter and interesting and useful to visitors, substantial changes have been introduced in its structure, design, information policy, and technical implementation.
Quality and efficiency of materials, as well as their visual design is now being paid considerably more attention. The current operation of the site is provided by a professional team of young journalists and designers.
Quick and easy search of materials is now available through a new interface and optimized information infrastructure.
Thanks to the modern solutions on technology and design, each of the materials on this site can be associated with any type of multimedia data: photos, slide shows, video, audio, additional files for local downloads. This greatly enhances the attractiveness and visibility of materials.
Spbtolerance.ru now includes an etnic calendar illustrated by means of all the media features of the site, and a section is prepared especially for the young St.Petersburg, which, however, is useful also for elder residents of our city.
The main topics covered by the website on a regular basis include: innovative approaches to the culture of tolerance at schools; cultural and educational projects for young people; activities of the Program “Tolerance” in the city districts, ethnic and cultural holidays and festivals; the formation of a tolerant media environment.
In addition, the site contains all the usual modern user online items: tags, high-quality search engine, RSS, and so on.
We are looking forward to your visit to the site and we hope it will be useful for you too.
