Youth Power Austria

After developing a series of campaigns within the Youth Exchange “e-Equality: Overcoming Online Discrimination,” we are excited to unveil them. These campaigns aim to establish a dynamic conversation  where young people can share insights, experiences, and innovative ideas. The goal is to foster a more inclusive and respectful online environment. Our collective effort seeks to inspire action and deepen understanding of important issues, empowering everyone to be champions of change in their communities. A key focus was placed on human rights, which intersected with various realities and concerns.

Youth Exchange e-Equality: Overcome Online Discrimination

The Youth Exchange was focused on empowering youth to recognize and confront discrimination and hate speech, particularly emphasizing the role of online campaigning.

 

Our goal was to engage in discussions and share insights with young individuals about the various forms of discrimination and how they manifest in everyday life. A significant focus was on understanding hate speech, its impact on individuals and communities, and effective strategies to combat it. By creating a safe and supportive environment, we encouraged participants to openly discuss experiences of discrimination and hate speech, fostering a community of understanding and empathy.

 

Our approach included providing practical tools and techniques for reporting and addressing discrimination and hate speech. We aimed to cultivate an attitude of tolerance and non-violence among our participants, encouraging them to stand for equal opportunities, human rights, and LGBTQIA+ rights. This was not only limited to our organization but also extended to our local communities and digital platforms.
