Hate Fighters In Action – T2 – Participants Blog

Second training course of ,,Hate fighters in Action’’ project was organized from 28th August till 3th September 2019 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Participants from eight countries came together with shared idea to fight together for better world. During this training we were learning new method for combating hate speech – Karl Poper debate. On the first day we were informed about goal of the training and the hole project, trainers presented us some basic rules and after introduction and team building games we started with learning process. Workshops about hate speech and Hate fighters network were done in interactive way so we all had chance to participate. Rules of Karl Poper debate were complicated to understand at the beginning but as time passed we all understood not only the process but the whole idea behind this method. We were working in small groups while preparing given cases. The nature of Karl Poper debate demanded from us to focus on different angles, besides preparing only affirmative or negative side of the case we also needed to think about strategy of our opponents and possible questions and answers. Cases we got were based on hate speech and discrimination and because of this we were able to understand better what is behind all of that, we did our research and we focused on different aspects and reasons for defending our side. This method is very useful in fight against hate speech because it helps us to fight the source of the problem by understanding what is behind. We came to similar conclusions – hate speech and discrimination are consequences of different stereotypes, out of date studies and fake news and through this method we will be able to fight the root of the problem. Because this was international training we also had a lot of fun in between sessions and in free time, we all became friends and made good connection booth professionally and privately. Our hosts and organizers planed rich program and we had opportunity to learn about different cultures as well. This was great experience and we are very grateful for opportunity to be part of this story.

We Can! – Participants Blog

Training for usage of “We Can” manual was organized in Nis, Serbia from 11th till 18th of August. This training course is part of project “Hate fighters network work plan 2019” which is implemented by Hate Fighters network and supported by European Youth Foundation.

The First day started with an introduction of the project given by the facilitators. After that, we moved on to getting to know each other. And what’s the best way to do that other than playing the Name games and some team building games.

Before focusing on the manual we were learning, discussing and sharing about different expectations and demands that society puts on young women and men. We were participating in different workshops which help us understand obstacles and challenges  that young people are facing in everyday life. From discussions to the role playing every part was emotional and overwhelming and it helped us understand impact that stereotypes and  prejudices have on society. After those sessions were done we were educated and ready to go deeper in these subjects.

We talked about the definition of hate speech and the articles in the European convention of human rights devoted to freedom of speech and hate speech. Then we analyzed various examples of hate speech: sexism, islamophobia, homophobia, misogyny, antigypsysm, racism. During these activities we started with planning different campaigns and tools that we can use in combat against hate speech. Accent was put on creating counter and alternative narrative instead of oppressive ones. This was very useful and interesting method to learn because it provided us interesting ways to combat against hate speech. Because of the fact that after this training we will have follow-up activities in form of local trainings in our own countries we had couple of workshops which helped us understand more the role of trainers and facilitators.

Another big subject besides combating hate speech was interculturalism, we had amazing time discovering different cultures and traditions, we shared a lot of interesting facts about our nations and most importantly we build some beautiful friendships.

In the end we would like to say thank you to everyone who participated, to our trainers, our hosts, we enjoyed every part of this week. We had amazing time and we learned so much in the most inspiring environment.
