Hate Speech is experienced daily by many young people across Europe. With the development of social networks, the number of cyber-bullying and cyber-harassment cases has increased, increasing the risks to democratic order and creating concerns among young people and youth organizations.
The project “UP! Unleashing the Power of Youth Work to Counter Online Hate Speech” is to address and transform online hate speech in a safe and transformative way.
