The COMMIT<\/a><\/strong> project is in full swing! What has been happening in the last few months?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partners developed training materials<\/strong> for young people aged 13-25 and held trainings and workshops <\/strong>with university students, members of civil society organisations, and students from secondary schools, to raise awareness about the psychological triggers and mechanisms that incite us towards hate, reflecting on issues of radicalisation, violent extremism and resilience against these processes. Participants were trained on how to create alternative narratives on social media<\/strong>, and contributed to the creation of content for the launch of COMMIT’s communication campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COMMIT’s communication campaign was launched in July 2021, on Facebook, Instagram and Tik Tok, entitled “HATE: A COURSE IN THREE LESSONS<\/strong>“, to analyse the roots of hate, in three steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Fear and Hate: an intimate relationship<\/strong><\/strong>: showing how hate speech, fake news and populistic propaganda thrive on fear and loss of positive identity, an easy hook to hate and violence;<\/li>
  2. In-grouping and scapegoating: how we love our enemies<\/strong>: reflecting on how fear and insecurity nurture the dynamic of \u201cus vs. them\u201d that justifies hatred and violence;<\/li>
  3. Active bystandership: the magic bullet<\/strong><\/strong>: inviting young people to consciously acting, attacking problems, not people!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The partners finally met in Athens on 15 and 16 December 2021, after 2 years of remote working, to exchange ideas, opinions and experiences on what has been achieved so far and on the activities still to be completed in the coming months. The project, in fact, will end in June 2022, and there are still many initiatives to be launched in the partner countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
