The last decade was a period of turbulence in Europe, several studies pointed out the rise of violent extremism and devaluation of democratic institutions, which was greatly fueled by the hate speech online and online, therefore we decided to use Counter and alternative narratives (CANs) against hate speech by discrediting and deconstructing the narratives on which they are based while proposing (alternative) narratives based on human rights and democratic values, such as openness, respect for difference, freedom and equality. With this project, we aimed to equip those in contact with young people with the necessary skills firstly to help young people build up their resistance and critical thinking skills, so as not to become attracted by extremist and populist ideas, oppressive and hate-driven narratives and secondly to become the advocate and campaigner for human rights using CANs Specific objectives for reaching the aim were: -To mainstream the principles of human rights education and education for democratic citizenship (EDC/HRE Charter) in youth work; -To make a situational analysis of hate speech threads and patterns in Europe and local realities and explore how young people are affected; -To equip the participants with educational tools to tackle hate speech, discrimination and hostility and involve young people in human rights campaign; -To support youth workers and human rights educators with methods and techniques on how to use “We CAN” manual in order to make it more accessible to use in youth work and share it with NHSM and to disseminate the practices of CANs through workshops and conferences; -To develop CANs both online and offline with the high level of youth participation; -To create follow-up projects and strategies in-line with EDC/HRE Charter contributing the similar aim
