New technologies are radically advancing our freedoms, but they are also enabling unparalleled invasions of privacy. The internet has radically enhanced our access to information in countless ways and empowered anyone to share ideas and connect with the entire world. Sites like facebook, twitter, instagram, youtube have an outsized impact on our social lives. we treat these platforms as a “public sphere”, using them to discuss issues both controversial and menial, to connect with friends far and near, and to engage in activism and debate. But while these platforms may be used by the public, they’re ultimately owned by private companies with their own rules and systems of governance that control—and in some cases, censor—users’ content. we have seen before how powerful social media platforms can be in inspiring protests, fostering political movements, and even influencing elections. it’s clear that these companies significantly contribute to and influence public discourse and the way that social media platforms approach freedom of expression and speech needs to be transparent so we, as a society, can hold them accountable. So far, 2018 has been a year of great focus on the issues mentioned above: highlights from the Senate intelligence hearing with facebook and twitter, Google's “smart city of surveillance” faced a public resistance in Canada, EU fined facebook over Cambridge analytica scandal, and Google over violation of EU antitrust law. The project equips youth workers with competences and methods needed for transferring the common fundamental values of our society particularly to the hard to reach young people and preventing violent radicalization of young people as well. Unprotected citizen on the internet can easily become prone to exposure to hate speech, extremist content, narratives that undermine the values of human rights and peace. This project aims to create a practice of youth resilience building and education for cyber hygiene by providing, practicing and disseminating the relevant tools in youth work in partner organizations. the project creates a good opportunity for youth organizations to start working on developing educational initiatives and methodologies connected to the internet. Civil society is a major actor in the dialogue on internet governance, and securing human rights aspects online. The project contributes to the erasmus+ priority on equipping youth workers with competences and methods needed for transferring the common fundamental values of our society particularly to the hard to reach young people and preventing violent radicalization of young people as well. The global digital threats affecting all countries and their citizens who have access to the internet, however, these threats are different from country to country, and these differences are based on socio-economic development, levels of democracy, human rights, and cultures. These differences create an excellent opportunity for learning and sharing between partner organizations. The nature of the project is likely to enhance European cooperation as partners involved will exchange and discuss common digital safety, youth work, and human rights issues that will increase understanding and solidarity Objectives: to raise digital security risk awareness among youth workers, organizations working on human rights to give tools on how to identify, mitigate risks and build resilience on personal and organizational levels to explore and mitigate the effects of online discrimination, such as hate speech, and bullying to provide tools on online literacy in order to transfer among their target groups to support online freedom of expression to raise awareness on protection from digital threats and provide tools for mitigation to enlarge knowledge and access to online spaces to promote digital rights and raise awareness on them within local communities to advocate privacy to inform about the international covenants protecting human rights online and explore the mechanisms of its use, to create a space for their adaptation for young people; to explore how hate speech affects individuals’ lives and, at the same, to explore it as a threat to open societies, leading to polarisation, marginalization and extremism; to train youth workers in steps for data protection, security, report mechanisms and equip them with educational tools for internet literacy;
