DAISSy Research Group of the HOU is looking forward to collaborating with teachers and schools interested in integrating the Hate Speech Self-Assessment Tool and the Hate Out! Game, the innovative digital tools of the LEAD-Online: Learn, Engage, Act: Digital Tools to Prevent and Counter Hate Speech Online European project, in their activities targeting the improvement of relationships among students.
The LEAD-Online project emphasizes on the need to strengthen the critical thinking and digital skills of young people that seem to be causally related to the low level of reporting and the “normalization” of Hate Speech online. Specifically, the project aims to empower young people, educators, civil society representatives, media and social media activists to become active agents of change. This will be achieved by training them, so that to recognise hate speech as well as persistent forms of intolerance, prejudice and discrimination, using a human rights-based approach. By using innovative digital tools provided by the project, they will be able to classify, decode and consequently respond to Hate Speech online, and at the same time they will expand their opportunities by discussing the phenomenon, promoting attitudes and behaviours that respect human rights and values.
So far, innovative methodologies and innovative digital tools have been and are being developed by LEAD-Online, in order to be applied in Hate Speech Online training and raising awareness activities and events. The tools are available and free of charge for all interested parties on the counteraction against Hate Speech Online.
Detailed information on the LEAD-Online project’s activities, methodologies and tools can be found in the recent project newsletter.
In this context, the DAISSy-HOU invites all interested teachers or school representatives to join in, by filling in the respective form of interest, being grateful in advance for the response and guaranteeing a fruitful exchange. After the form submission, DAISSy’s LEAD-Online research team will contact those interested in order to support an effective integration of the digital tools in the schools activities.
