Description
The aim of the project is to raise awareness of human rights and fight against hate speech. Specifically, we want to:
Raise young people''s awareness of human rights, hate speech and discrimination by inviting them to take part in action days through debates, film evenings and workshops (eg Peace Day, Combating sexist hate speech, Safer Internet Day, etc.).
Train people working with young people on human rights and "No Hate Speech" and introduce them to different tools (eg "Bookmarks", "Human Rights Compass", etc.)
To learn from the good experiences and practices of Iceland and Norway and to apply them at the Estonian level
Activate the "No Hate Speech Movement!" campaign in Estonia both on the Internet and in the real world
We directly involve 48 people working with young people in the project activities (2 seminars and one follow-up seminar) who will learn how to use nonformal methods to discuss human rights and “No Hate Speech” with youngsters. They, in turn, will do workshops with their young people, involving almost a thousand young people. Ten people working with young people will have the opportunity to participate in study visits to Norway and Iceland to learn from their experience, make contacts and bring that experience back to Estonia. We will organize 18 action days to empower certain minority groups and/or draw attention to discrimination and problems in society. At least 360 young people will take part in these activities. In addition, we will organize two human rights summer schools for young people (50 participants in total) and create a group of volunteer activists who will manage "No Hate Speech!"
