Merhaba, Egypt! On the 23rd of Nov we flew to beautiful Sharm El Sheikh for an impactful training course addressing one of today’s most pressing issues.
Critically Yours is the first training course of our capacity-building project, NHE (#nohateembassy), which started several months ago.
This initiative brings together experienced youth workers from across the Euro-Mediterranean region, empowering them to become No Hate Ambassadors in their communities. Through this training, participants will foster critical thinking, inspire their audiences, and gain practical tools for digital prevention and counter-narration strategies.
The opening days have been all about settling into the rhythm of the program: laying the foundation, building connections, and diving into key concepts. We’ve explored how to identify online hate speech and discussed the vital roles various stakeholders play in addressing this pressing challenge.
The following days, our participants have been busy:
👉 Analyzing the causes and consequences of hate speech
👉Exploring the different hate narratives that exist and their origins
👉Learning about the national realities of the participating countries
👉Using roleplay to foster debate and spark discussions
And that’s not all, our NHE TED Talks have been a highlight, where our participants took center stage to share personal accounts and experiences of how they dealt with different forms of hate and the reasons behind their commitment to fight it.
