Youth Exchange “e-Equality: Overcoming Online Discrimination”

The YE is focused on empowering youth to recognize and confront discrimination and hate speech, particularly emphasizing the role of online campaigning.

 

Our goal is to engage in discussion and share insights with young individuals about the various forms of discrimination and how they manifest in everyday life. A significant focus will be on understanding hate speech, its impact on individuals and communities, and effective strategies to combat it. By creating a safe and supportive environment, we encourage participants to openly discuss experiences of discrimination and hate speech, fostering a community of understanding and empathy.

 

Our approach includes providing practical tools and techniques for reporting and addressing discrimination and hate speech. We intend to cultivate an attitude of tolerance and non-violence among our participants, encouraging them to stand for equal opportunities, human rights, and LGBTQIA+ rights. This will not only be limited to our organization but also extended to our local communities and digital platforms.

 

Aligned with European Youth Goals on gender equality and inclusive societies, we are committed to:

  • Educating about discrimination and hate speech, with a special focus on digital spaces.
  • Discussing the impact of online hate speech and exploring effective counter strategies.
  • Creating a safe environment for sharing experiences of digital discrimination and hate speech.
  • Providing tools and techniques for effectively reporting and responding to online hate.
  • Promoting a culture of tolerance, non-violence, and equality in both online and offline contexts.
  • Emphasizing the power of online campaigning to advocate for human rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, and equal opportunities.

This initiative seeks to develop informed, empathetic, and active young individuals who use digital platforms as a force for positive change, advocating for equality and respect in all areas of life.
