Communicating Equality in New Social Media Platforms (EQUAL-Lit)

Our project’s mission was to equip youth workers with the skills they need to combat online hate speech effectively. Hate speech encompasses “expressions that promote racial hatred, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, intolerance, etc” (CoE). We were using a methodology that combined digital tools with alternative narratives, aiming to nurture empathy, self-esteem, and compassion among youth workers so they can confidently recognize and address hate speech. You can find example of the methods in our Handbook, available at: link
