Addressing Online Hate

École Citoyenne
[English only]
“Ecole citoyenne” offers intercultural courses during which students can express themselves freely in class. Normally, the school has little time to work on multiple identities, also because teachers and educators do not know how to do it. For this reason, “école citoyenne” allows to know and recognize identities and thus create a common culture in line with the civic values of equality, freedom, emancipation and mutual aid. In their project files, the focus is on the possibility of opening up a space for discussion for the expression of identity. Concrete projects can be found on their website below.
Extreme Dialogue

Designed to be delivered by teachers, other education or youth practitioners, external facilitators or young people themselves, the free Extreme Dialogue films and educational resources can be supported by training workshops.
