Trainers equipped with tools to counter hate speech

The Anti-discrimination Cooperation (ADCU) and Hate Speech, Hate Crime and Artificial Intelligence (HSCU) Units run extensive programmes of cooperation activities to help combat discrimination, hate speech and hate crime, as well as support the empowerment of minorities, the positive management of diversity and respect of human rights, including in the deployment of digital technologies, algorithmic and artificial intelligence systems.

The Council of Europe organised a training of trainers on preventing hate speech through awareness raising and education from 3 to 6 February in Strasbourg.

The training gathered 32 participants, trainers and multipliers who assist civil society organisations and other stakeholders in using counter and alternative narratives (CANs) and human rights education (HRE). The training introduced the theoretical and policy frameworks on combating hate speech, as well as practical application of CANs and HRE as tools to prevent and combat hate speech.
