Description

There are many creative ideas the youth do not know about. It is essential to spread these ideas for the youth to be inspired by them or to find their own way to be active. Through multicultural events and short films this project will support creativity of young people, it will motivate them not to be impassive and it will contribute to their mutual understanding and reducing hate-speech. 5 short films will be made about organizations and activities that will reduce the display of hatred, extremism, xenophobia and they will support multicultural understanding and collaboration. The films will be presented at 5 events Voices Live (300 participants) streamed online, and will be also available to public through records. 50 NGOs will participate in this project. Young people will present activities addressing hate-speech, volunteers and employees of the NGOs will gain inspiration how to solve current challenges, various institutions will improve their understanding of the importance of NGOs and the representatives of minorities will gain inspiration on how to deal with hate-speech.
