2.500 residents,
at the entrance of Europe.

3. ● We might be only 30 students in
our school but we are actually
really active and into new things
and ideas.
Who are we?

4. How we came up with this idea
The problem
● Young people encounter
hate speech incidents
as a part of their daily
digital life.
● This subject is not
sufficiently covered in
many schools.
The solution
Fight the problem
through:
● education and
● awareness of young
people

5. Our product
● An app for smart phones
● As an appealing way to approach young
people who...
● prefer mobile devices rather than desktop
computers or even books.
Target group:12+

6. Let’s think… about hate speech
Do we have the right to
express ourselves even if
our words can harm
people or cause crimes?
Does the person or the
media play a role on the
impact that words could
have?
Are there borders
between hate and free
speech?
Can all offensive
expressions incite hatred
or violence?
Is there a light
and heavy form of
hate speech?

7. HOMEPAGE
● There will be 6 components/
sections displayed on the
first screen, that can be
chosen by the user.

8. 1. HATE OR FREE SPEECH?
● User reads some
sentences and has to
decide whether those
words can be
considered as a hate or
free speech.
● An assessment icons
scale will be displayed
at the bottom of the
screen.

9. 2. HUMAN RIGHTS
● An activity based on human
rights.
● Real hate speech examples
will be displayed and user
has to indicate, from a list
given, which human right is
being violated.
● List: Right to Life/ right to
respect for private and family
life/etc.

10. 3.FIND THE VICTIM
● Bias and stereotypes
motivate hate speech.
● Children are exposed in
stereotypes since early
childhood.
● User reads an expression
that can be considered as
bias and chooses, from a list,
the group of people that are
targeted.
● This way we undermask the
background of hate speech.

11. 4. TAKE ACTION-TIPS
● What should we do when
we face hate speech
online? Should we ignore
it or take action?
● Here are some tips...
Tips

positive post

supportive, kind or positive
