Idea
Citizen Journalists on Tour is a training course for youth workers and trainers on the issue of hate speech on the internet.
It offers an opportunity to:
• Deepen your understanding of the phenomenon of hate speech;
• Learn different strategies how to counter hate speech on the internet;
• Network and develop own ideas with participants from six different countries.
Context
In light of the political right turn in many European countries we witness an increasingly hostile atmosphere towards Muslims, refugees, and other minority groups. For many people the internet serves as a platform to spread their racist views. The aim of the training is to empower youth workers to counter hate speech.
Program
In the first part of the program participants learn to recognize discriminatory posts and are familiarized with media literacy aspects of hate speech. As a next step, they embark on a field trip to Berlin and interview various representatives of the media, civil society and political institutions. Finally, they acquire practical skills on countering hate speech and learn how to apply these skills in their individual field of activity.
Approach
We will actively involve the participants and engage our brains, hearts and bodies. Our methodological approach includes theoretical inputs, discussions, workshops, reflections, best-practice examples, excursions, cooperation games, open space and others. The seminar language will be English.
