As Common Ground moved into its second half, participants shifted from understanding how digital hate spreads to practising ways to respond to it safely and constructively.
They worked with the Pause-Check-Choose routine to slow down automatic reactions online, acted out realistic hate speech scenarios, explored digital safety habits, and started developing practical tools such as scenario cards and pocket reminders.
The final days focused on turning that learning into action. Each national team designed a workshop to take back to their local community, adapting the project methods to issues relevant in their own context:
📌 Turkey: supporting migrant women
📌 Egypt: social class stereotypes and discriminatory language
📌 France: hate speech targeting North African immigrants
📌 Germany: responding to hate speech in everyday life
📌 Jordan: hate speech in sports and fan culture
📌 Morocco: hate speech targeting Sub-Saharan migrants
📌 Sweden: online safety for teenagers
📌 Tunisia: cyberbullying and the Pause-Check-Choose method
With the exchange complete, the next step was putting these ideas into practice through local workshops and sharing the methods with more young people.
