Historical and political background, the process of peoples’ migration together with wars and conflicts have led to billions of people having to leave their homes to look for another home. Unfortunately, the statistics show devastating numbers of people from countries which are faced with conflicts within their territory. People entering the European Union and many other partner countries are generally considered as a minority and treated with bias due to negative characteristics they are associated with. This attitude is a result of the negative impact of the hate speech, manipulation, and fake news. The two-stage project “Free speech as the bedrock of liberty” was designed to provide the target audience of young people with a greater understanding of the language of hatred in our increasingly socially and culturally diverse society. We seek to develop Youth Work methods that can contribute to solving the problem of hate speech associated with young migrants, minorities and radicalism. There are general objectives for both stage of the project: - to exchange experience between 30 participants by social dialogue and develop new tools and knowledge in media topic; - to make reportage using real people from the real world; - to separate propaganda, fake news, manipulation, learn how to find the truth, where to obtain real information; - to draw a parallel between the two countries (Malta and Ukraine) through two stages of Training Courses;- to identify the causes of the emergence of hate speech and adopt experience of resolution. Both stages accepted participants from each cooperation country. In accordance with the project aim, for both stages, the main target group: - Was without any limit of age; - Have previous experience in social or political activities; - Interested in social life; - Awareness of journalistic principles and photography; - Have some background in creating youth political parties and creating media products; - Have good level of English; - Bring energy and enthusiasm and are prepared to participate in all activities. The participants were selected by partners in cooperation with the applicant and host organisation. The selection process was based on applications (including motivational statement), CV, and Skype interview. The selection process helped to assess real needs, experience, the background of the participants and how relevant to the project was for their future goals and work. The project opened its doors for the representatives with a disadvantaged background such as IDPs, refugees, minority groups (ethnic, LGBTQ, etc.), and those with fewer economic possibilities. We believe these participants helped to reach a broader range of people once they returned home and gave all the participants a better understanding of how hate speech exists in the modern society. We think that this project has had a great impact on the participants, partners and the other target groups involved in the project activities. The impacts on the participants from both stages of the project: - motivate young people to develop the social projects that can reduce the hate speech in society; - encourage young people to spread the ideas of equality and humanity in every country; - cultural exchange between participants to facilitate better understanding and cooperation; - integrate good practices and new methods of non-formal education and social advocacy into daily practices. Participants received new knowledge on contributing to solving the problem of hate speech, issues of radicalism, minorities of regions and political societies. During, the first stage in Malta participants were able to obtain theoretical knowledge, improve their skills in working with information, study methods of counteracting hate speech and learned practical skills necessary to identify and counteract human rights violations. During the second stage in Ukraine, participants were able to demonstrate their skills and knowledge of working with information in practice. They prepared their own media-product about their personal experience of hate speech and developed ways to deal with it. The project provided the target audience with a greater understanding of social and cultural diversity, which strongly connect with the language of hatred and discrimination in our society. We think that the two-stage project “Free speech as the bedrock of liberty” has had a significant impact on the participants' life after the projects due to the role the topics of hate speech and freedom of speech have nowadays.
