SUMMARY:One Picture is Worth a Thousand Words: Countering Hate Speech Through Art
DESCRIPTION:Participants: 8 per country (7 participants + 1 group leader)\nCountries: Austria\, North Macedonia\, Bulgaria\, Serbia\, Romania\, and Latvia \nProject Description\nWe decided to carry out the project because young people expressed strong interest in the topic\nof hate speech as one of the appealing issues that is strongly impacting them. In the process of\ncreating this application we discussed the topic and we agreed with our partners to use art as a\ntool to fight online and offline hate speech. Why? Art can provide counter narratives against hate\nspeech; Art provides young people an opportunity to get involved and fully express themselves.\nArt-based tools support the development of young people’s creativity and provide an\nopportunity for different types of expressions e.g.\, through photos\, theatre\, or creative writing.\nIt means that young people can experience a variety of tools. Moreover\, the tools can be based\neven on using non-verbal communities e.g.\, theatre. It means that even for young people who\ndo not feel comfortable to fully use English there is an opportunity to express themselves and\nwith others their perceptions and opinions. And it aims to meet the following objectives: \n● To encourage the participants to stand up against hate speech; \n● To develop skills of the participants to recognize and address online and offline hate\nspeech; \n● To raise participants intercultural competencies and make them aware of their own\nstereotypes and prejudices; \n● To increase competencies (knowledge\, skills\, attitude) of young people from participating\ncountries\, directly involved participants\, in the area of online and offline hate speech; \n● To increase participant’s creative competencies by using art-based methods and tools\nsupporting young people direct involvement and developing their competencies; \n● To raise knowledge of the participants on the Erasmus + Programme\, non-formal learning\,\nYouthPass and to empower them to continue to be active in the field of international\nyouth work; \n● To increase awareness of local communities of participating organizations on online and\noffline hate speech through follow up activities in the form of interactive presentations\nprepare and delivered by directly involved participants with the support of the group\nleaders; \n● To encourage young people who will be reached online through a series of 10 video\ninterviews with the participants of YE to fight online and offline hate speech and to get\ninvolved in the Erasmus + Programme. \n● To support creation of new project ideas\, with a special focus on the KA 1\, Erasmus +\nProgramme; \n  \nParticipant profile\n● Young people age 18 to 30;\n● Strongly interested in the topic of online and offline hate speech;\n● Looking for opportunities to increase their knowledge on the roots\, consequences of\nonline and offline hate;\n● To be able to increase their skills to recognize online and offline hate speech and to take\nsteps against it;\n● Strong interest in art and arts-based tools and methods\, be open to work on increasing\ntheir creativity;\n● Strong interest to explore the concept of non-formal education\, to increase knowledge\nand understanding of the YouthPass and the Erasmus + Programme;\n● Motivation to work on new project ideas\, visibility\, and dissemination of products\nincluding videos. \n  \nGroup leaders profile\n● Youth workers\, leaders with experiences in international youth field\, with non- formal\neducation based methodology; \n● With previous experiences in the field of youth engagement\, project management\, Erasmus\n+ Programme\, KA 1 – youth exchanges; \n● Being able to support the participants during project: to organize and implement preparatory\nmeetings\, to communicate with other group leaders in the process of preparation of\nprogramme\, to assist participants with arranging practicalities for YE\, to support participants\nduring YE\, especially to support their learning process and active participation\, to organize\nand to implement evaluation meetings with participants\, to support development follow-up\nactivities. \n● There is no age limit set for group leaders. \n  \nWorking method\n● Learning by doing method. \n● Ice-breakers and team building games to get to know each other. \n● Workshops will leave room for discussions and debates \n● Simulation games will allow us to identify current challenges of non-formal education and show possible measures that strengthen them. \n● These sessions will provide the participants with concrete ideas that can be implemented in their local communities\, thus ensuring an important multiplier effect. \nAccomodation and food\n    \nAccommodation and food are 100% covered by the Erasmus+ programme.
