Training young bloggers and online activists
 against hate speech


Young People Combating Hate Speech On-line is a new project of the Council of Europe’s youth sector. The training course for young bloggers and online activists is the first major activity of this project.

Young People Combating Hate Speech On-line aims to combat racism and discrimination in their online expression of hate speech by equipping young people and youth organisations with the competences necessary to recognise and act against such human rights violations. The project stands for equality in dignity, human rights and diversity. It is a project against hate speech, racism and discrimination in their online expression. Centred on a training course and online campaigning, the project stands for action and intervention.
