ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Youth Exchange ‘Hate speech less’ was designed to provide the target audience the greater understanding and responsiveness to social and cultural diversity, that is strongly connected with the language of hatred and neglect in our society.

Nowadays, it is extremelly easy to manipulate the mass-audience opinion through the different media tricks and internet web. And easy as well to create fake or emotionally rich messages in the tune that give birth to hatred and apathy between representatives of different denominations, political views, countries, nationalities, and sexes.

That is why this YE accents hate speech, that appears because of different religions and nationalities in the society, issues linked to sexism, agism, racism, and homophobia. And it is very important to give to youngsters the greater understanding that this world has to evolve. Democratic views and attitudes towards minorities will create a positive economic and cultural situation in every single country, and therefore – a better standard of living.

The goals of the project are to:

• Increase the sense of responsibility, understanding, and acceptance of minorities and migrants, to reduce the existence of stereotypes and hate speech among the people;
• Develop methods of youth work that can contribute to solving the issue of hate speech, young migrants, issues of radicalism, minorities of religious and political societies;
