YOUTH2UNITE
Description
The “Youth2Unite” project aims to combat the rise of hate crimes and hate speech across Europe and to decrease passivity towards such incidents by promoting involvement and awareness raising especially among young people. This will be achieved through a human rights-based approach that aims to both inform and engage young audiences to understand and empathize with people that suffer the results of hate-related attitudes, whether they translate into physical or psychological violence. Thus, the project aims to train young people, not only to combat, but also to recognize instances of such events, preventing them to spread in the first place and creating a welcoming context for marginalized populations.
