What is Hate Trackers?
The project has as its main objective to promote the generation and promotion of a network of young activists (aged 19-28) of a transnational character in the fight against discourse of hatred and limitations to social and civic participation.
To this end, it will foster cooperation and collaborative work among European youth organizations, through their expertise and good practices, and will design, test and consolidate an innovative training methodology that facilitates the empowerment and participation of young people and will lead to the creation of new forms of aggregation aimed at activism.
But what is "(online) hate speech"?
Generally, when we talk about Hate speech, we refer to the use of linguistic attacks based on race,
ethnicity, religion and sexual orientation. Thanks to social media, organized groups of haters have a much greater capacity for incidence and
pervasiveness than in the past, precisely because social media have the potential to reach an almost
unlimited pool of people. There are fears that such comments may decrease social cohesion and ultimately result in less prosocial behaviour among citizens.
