This toolkit supports the youth workers by giving examples and information on how to support youngsters in media surroundings and how to increase civic engagement. It offers guidance to develop counter and alternative narratives to combat hate speech and promote digital resilience, especially in online environments.
It is outcome of a common effort among ACTIONAID HELLAS, ETHNIKO KENTRO KOINONIKON EREVNON (EKKE), ACTIONAID INTERNATIONAL ITALIA, OLTALOM SPORTEGYESULET, FOND FOOTBALL FRIENDS ZA, STREETFOOTBALLWORLD GGMBH, NORSENSUS MEDIAFORUM, PANELLINIOS SINDESMOS AMIVOMENON PODOSFERISTON SOMATEIO (PSAP)
The manual proposes a set of online and offline communication and educational approaches, and tools to undermine narratives, which sustain and legitimise hate speech. It aims to strengthen the toolboxes of youth workers, educators and activists already engaged in human rights work and education or willing to be engaged.
It is addressed to non-profit organisations, schools, sport clubs and neighbourhood clubs, who wish to use football and media literacy skills as a combined tool to combat racism, xenophobia and exclusion by training trainers and mediators in media digital literacy. The manual is based on the firm belief that online space is public space, and hence, all principles of a democratic society can and should apply online. In this context, the role of young people online is extremely important in combating hate speech, detecting fake news, acting as active digital citizens. What’s more, they can be human rights defenders online.
DIALECT2: Combating youth raDIcalizAtion: Building communities of toLEranCe combining fooTball with media and digital literacy project is co-financed by Erasmus+ programme of European Union.
