Fight Hate with Art is a project created, at the beginning, first of all by three persons : David, Nourik and Lindsay. Indeed they had the opportunity to participate to a project about hate speech in Italy. During this project they learned a lot and it inspired them to create their own project to spread the right information and raise awarness about hate speech and to share technics to fight hate speech with art. Hate speech in the public sphere takes place online and offline and affects everyone. Social media and the Internet have opened up for many new arenas for exchanging opinions. Freedom of speech is an absolute value in any democracy, both for the public and for the media. At the same time, opinions and debates challenge us as hate speech are spread widely and frequently on new platforms for publishing. Hate speech may cause fear and can be the reason why people withdraw from the public debate, as a result important voices that should be heard in the public debate are silenced. Hate speech may be directed against people on the basis of ethnicity, religion, disability or sexual orientation. Hate speech has serious consequences for individuals, groups and the whole society, that is why it is important to take a stand and show that this cannot be tolerated. In this matter we all have a responsibility and we must actively work against hate speech. The problem about hate speech is that most of the people are not aware of what it is, that is why with this project we wanted to combat ignorance and take a concrete step in making young people understand what could be done against the spread of this negative phenomenon. With this project we wanted to combine several factors, that were: creating awareness on hate speech, spreading the message of the defence of Human Rights, boosting creativity, giving young people instruments for the combat against the phenomenon, which will meet in the activities carried out by the project. For these reasons, we thought of planning a project on this topic focusing especially on the way of creating awareness among the local community and the people affected by the project results. We wanted to implement a project which aimed to: - Create awareness among participants and the local community on the topic of No Hate Speech; - Fight ignorance on Hate Speech and its consequences among the local community; - Encourage young people to take concrete actions in the defense of Human Rights; - Support young people in finding instruments, boosting their knowledge and awareness on what institutions do on the subject; - Foster active youth participation, helping young people to become agents of positive change in their society and in Europe; - Develop a better understanding of the concepts of democracy, citizenship and participation; This project was highly linked with the Erasmus+ Programme specific actions since it was referring to improve the level of key competences and skills of young people, including those with fewer opportunities as well as to promote participation in democratic life in Europe and active citizenship, intercultural dialogue, social inclusion and solidarity, in particular through increased learning mobility opportunities for young people, those active in youth work or youth organisations and youth leaders, and through strengthened links between the youth field; Learning outcomes : -To understand what are the consequences of hate speech, its gravity on society & why it is important to learn about Human Rights - to be more able to address human rights and social topics seriously -To learn about Human Rights and how to take actions in developing a project/campaign to defend them -To improve the level of competence in graphics and visual arts -To be more committed to work against discrimination, intolerance, xenophobia or racism -To be more willing to take action to change the things that do not work in their surroundings -To be more aware of the fact that some people in our society are disadvantaged -To be more receptive to Europe's multiculturalism
