Le Conseil de l’Europe et la jeunesse

Trente années d’expérience (2002)

Le Conseil de l’Europe fait figure de pionnier en matière de politique européenne de la jeunesse. Les créations des Centres européens de la jeunesse et du Fond européen pour la jeunesse ainsi que la mise en place d’un véritable partenariat entre les organisations de jeunesse et les gouvernements sont l’expression d’une prise de conscience double : celle de la nécessité d’offrir à la jeunesse un espace réel de participation et celle de prévoir un espace de dialogue pour les nouvelles étapes de la construction européenne auxquelles non seulement les gouvernements mais aussi la société dans son ensemble sont appelés à prendre part. Depuis l’origine, la participation constitue le mot clé de la politique de la jeunesse du Conseil de l’Europe: «travailler pour et avec les jeunes».

Starting points for combating hate speech online

 NO HATE SPEECH MOVEMENT (2012)

The Council of Europe’s Youth Department commissioned three “mapping” studies about the realities of hate speech and young people and projects and campaigns about it. These studies are published here as a resource for the activists, youth leaders, researchers, partners and decision makers associated to the project and the online campaign. They are truly starting points: more research is needed, both on the legal and policy implications of hate speech online as on its impact and relation with young people.
