Summary/Abstract: Tolerance, as an indispensable element of culture, peace, democracy and human rights, is given a prominent role in the 21st century. It is above all in the field of education and upbringing, where its interpretation and reinterpretation are essential and of the utmost relevance. In view of the challenges of the 21st century, the application of all these factors and principles is extremely relevant, justified and necessary, namely at all levels of public education, and accordingly also in the training of teacher candidates. At J. Selye University, the principles of mutual acceptance, understanding, and tolerance are given special attention and emphasis. This is not by chance, but, among other things, it is in view of the specific mission, importance and milieu of minority university education. The aim of the study and of our research is to map the connection points of multiculturalism, acceptance and tolerance within the framework of music and art education, as well as their place and significance among student teachers at J. Selye University. The target group is the students of the Faculty of Education of the J. Selye University, who came from various regions of Slovakia and Hungary.
