Strategic Human Rights meeting point is an association project to exchange good practices and focused on social organizations professionals. The proliferation of hating speeches with more power of influence specially between young collectives and the socio educative obligation of the organizations to promote community actions to influence and sensitize about Human Rights makes that we must adapt usually to the reality. We must focus young people in the centre of every action to convert them as an important element, with the development of activities and also from the first phases of conceptualization and design. For this reason, transformation strategies and adaptation to new uses and young languages must do collaboratively. The creation of a net with the objective to exchange tools and resources promotes a better training of human teams and an improvement of the quality of the actions focused to young people, especially with young people with risk of social exclusion. The formative fortification and the enlargement of professional skills allow to offer a better answer of these collective needs. This association project is raised like an important tool in the learning process of the professionals of the different associations to exchange good practices and know deeply projects driven for every partner declared as good practices. These examples are discussed and analysed with the objective to be debated and learn new work methodologies.

The context of crisis, new social models, and migratory facts are the starting points for hate speech and the increase in prejudice and social exclusion of the most vulnerable groups. Social entities that work mainly on social inclusion and the demystification of prejudices and stereotypes with groups of youth must adapt their strategies of intervention and roadmaps in response to this threat of the growth of hate speech, more specifically among the youth population. To work with different groups of young people, art and culture are tools that allow them to be linked to actions from their own experience and development. Through spaces for reflection, sharing experiences and learning new concepts and tools, we develop community actions with the aim of influencing and raising awareness among young people about human rights, establishing a direct relationship between the proliferation of hate speech and the vulnerability of the young collective before them. At the same time, youth professionals are given new methodologies and practices to work with the youth group in their personal and maturing development.
