WE CAN! Taking action against Hate Speech through Counter and Alternative Narratives

WE CAN! Taking action against Hate Speech through Counter and Alternative Narratives. This manual offers guidance to develop counter and alternative narratives to combat hat speech and promote human rights, especially in online environments. The manual proposes a set of online and offline communication and educational approaches, and tools to undermine narratives, which sustain and legitimise hate speech. It aims to strengthen the toolboxes of youth workers, educators and activists already engaged in human rights work and education or willing to be engaged. It is designed for and within the context of the No Hate Speech Movement, a Council of Europe youth campaign for human rights online.
