hate speech, racism, xenophobia, aporophobia, hoaxes, fact-checking.

To identify hate speech situations;

To know anti-hoax resources;

To design materials and tools to fight them.

Administration staff (workers of Employment Offices).

In the first part of the activity all members of the group introduce themselves and try to share hate speech situations in the office. We try to characterise those situations to identify the different existing types. In the second part, we try to gather data, arguments, and information to be able to answer didactically to users who incur hate speech. Finally, we create simple materials such as small informative posters with data that reflect the hoaxes about special grants to immigrants, for example. They can be easily extracted from specialised websites such as Maldito Bulo or Stop Rumores.

Computer and screen for presentations;  Name-tags;  Markers, pencils, and pens; Blank cards or pieces of paper.

Conversation, brainstorming, information search, learning by doing.

Bring internet resources where the anti-hoax data can be explored.
