Hate Speech

Later, after a short coffee break we were introduced in the topic of HATE SPEECH. The coordinators invite us to do a brainstorming for our ideas and the first words that come up to our minds, when we are thinking about the subject of Hate Speech.

After a brief discussion we participated into a relevant activity, The Story of Olly. We were separated in teams and we were given a scenario about a hate speech victim named Olly and her/his advocator named Ale. The team members had to assume and write down some traits of the characters, that lead them to the position of the hate speech victim.

Last but not least we had to come up with a solution regarding the discussed problem. This activity was really helpful for exercising our critical thinking and understand that we end up in conclusions based on personal assumptions.

After lunch the Greek team proposed a second energiser. We wanted to see the skills of participants and how good reflexes they have in a funny way.
