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.
