tolerance
'die Toleranz' and 'die Willkommenskultur' both fit an open way of dealing with other people. 'Toleranz' generally means accepting and respecting other opinions, ways of life, or people. 'Willkommenskultur' is more specific: it is about warmly welcoming immigrants, refugees, or guests from other countries and making it easier for them to settle in. The words can be confused because both sound positive and open. 'Toleranz' describes more of an attitude, while 'Willkommenskultur' also describes concrete help and friendly behavior in a society or group.
