Description

The project unites the LGBT+ community and the general public in the fight against escalating discrimination and hate speech. We aim to address the alarming rise of hate speech which leads to societal polarization and significant impacts on well-being. Important is to empower LGBT+ individuals,create an inclusive and safe environment,and enhance prevention against terrorist attacks. The project encompasses public gathering,a communication campaign, and bilateral cooperation with Oslo Pride to draw inspiration from their experiences and safeguard human rights even after the project''s

Summary of the results

Fortunately, no terrorist attack motivated by hatred has yet occurred in the Czech Republic, but we are anxiously following the news from neighbouring European countries and our interest is to create preventive measures for such events and to communicate the necessary security measures as best as possible. Oslo Pride has a long tradition, with the first Pride parade taking place in Oslo in 1982. Over the course of its existence, the organisation has thus acquired a number of useful skills that help it to safely manage the many thousands of visitors. For Prague Pride, the cooperation project has been beneficial by providing inspirational resources on how to communicate with visitors in the event of a threat and what precautionary safety measures to take.
