Aims
The aim of the project is to tackle the problem of online hate speech by promoting mutual awareness, tolerance, and respect.
Target group
SELMA will target young people (age 11-16), primarily in schools, but also in the out-of-school communities that impact their well-being.
Method
Activities include:
- Empirical research.
- The co-creation of a SELMA Toolkit.
- Face-to-face and online training and counselling for young people.
- Training/briefings to educational staff/teachers and school leaders as well as social workers, parents and other carers, including a Massive Online Learning Course (MOOC).
- Education Task Force meetings for EU policy makers, Ministries of Education and IT companies to facilitate mutual learning and cooperation, shaping their respective policies, while taking into account the perspective of young people and civil society.
- The dissemination of outputs, results and lessons learned. A hackathon, an international conference, as well as different online (mini-) campaigns, including a final education/awareness week will ensure cross-European outreach.
