An educational approach to detect, combat and prevent online hate speech
The EducHate project aims to increase citizens' self-awareness and moral self-regulation to detect and combat online hate speech and support victims. Specifically, it aims to intervene in educational contexts, being directed to social actors of schools and universities (teachers, students, parents), and is based on a participatory pedagogical approach. EducHate encourages the creation of groups of ambassadors against hate in these contexts, which will be able to: 1) diagnose blatant and subtle online hate speech; 2) develop individual (empathy, moral) and social (social and civic responsibility) skills to combat hate speech; e 3) support the development of anti-hate social contexts. This project aims to use digital materials, online activities and focus on the experience that project participants have with online hate speech in their contexts and networks.
