Dealing with Hate Speech

At a personal level, freedom of expression is key to the development, dignity and fulfilment of every person. In recent times, major attention has been directed to episodes when this freedom is abused to impart opinions or ideas of detestation and discriminatory hate towards an individual or group. "Hate speech" is a complex phenomenon, differently defined and addressed in countries. Through this module we will give clarity to what falls under the definition and how we can support our students in analysing their and others' communication and act for their and others' safety.
