Before they Hate: Tackling hate speech as

Objectives We want to rid young people's lives of violence; for them and the people working with them to have the tools and thought processes to combat hate speech immediately before it materializes into more severe violence. In addition, we want youth centres and schools to be a fertile ground for teenagers to freely learn and participate in activities regardless of their gender, sex, race, or minority status, so they can better impact their environment. Activities Research the manifestations of hate speech in the lives of survivors and perpetrators, create an educational and awareness model to prevent online hate speech through youth work, emphasising the intersection of misogyny and racism/xenophobia. A short film and photo campaign will be made, depicting youth from minority groups, the film's actors will train as peer educators. In addition, we will train Youth workers on using the model for deep implementation and publish all results widely Impact YW in Iceland, Belgium, Scotland, Denmark, and Spain will be able to raise awareness among thousands of teenagers. The countries' youth centres will increase their educational heritage, with a legacy of hate speech preventions and trained, knowledgeable young leaders to carry on the work. In addition, Before they Hate will become a reference point for similar initiatives, encouraging the private and public sectors to play a more active role in hate speech prevention.
