Words are stones (I17-EN)
Central to the project’s philosophy is the idea that online space is public space – human rights apply there as much in the rest of society. This objective will impact in countries experiencing the first-hand situation of hate speech due to their population composition and where the political approach and actions toward (online) hate speech are different. So, the achievement of this objective will contribute to the creation of a EU network in order to foster international cooperation in the field and to promote a continuous exchange of best practices. In particular, project activities are:
- The organisation of a ‘train the trainers’ course in Italy for young social media strategists/managers, bloggers, online activities, youtubers and its replication in each participating country
- The organization of a “Youth media campaign” with on/off line local activities. Materials produced will serve as basis for the “WORDS ARE STONES hate speech award”, a European celebration moment through which it is possible to report and vote the best cases of hate speech management and the best conduct of internet users for a more inclusive internet.
