This Guide is part of a training scheme which has been developed within the Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership Arguments Against Aggression – Strategies and Tools against Hate Speech in Face-to-Face Encounters and in Social Media (2018-2020).

Hate speech and aggressive argumentation are an attack on the rights of different ethnic, religious and/or national groups, in clear violation of the principles of equal human dignity and respect for the racial and cultural differences among human groups.

In Arguments Against Aggression, a team from seven European institutions provides tools to help people in public positions to counter aggressive arguments and hate speech in personal encounters and in the social media. Specifically targeted are persons working as civil servants, teachers, youth workers, persons in cultural institutions, or people working in public media.
