Activism can take many forms. It can be a protest in the streets, a story on social media, and sometimes even just a comment.

What, after all, is freedom of speech? And where does hate speech begin?

The Hate Trackers – Into Action program is an initiative by Hellenic Youth Participation (Greece) in cooperation with C.I.F.A. (Italy), Hope For Children (Cyprus), Rinova (Spain), Cromo Foundation (Hungary), Active Youth Participation (Lithuania), and Youth Included (Czech Republic). It aims to reveal when hate speech begins and when freedom of speech ends. It empowers young people to promote civic engagement in the fight against hate speech and social exclusion.

The goal is to highlight the problem of misinformation and discrimination faced by individuals and to strengthen the ability to challenge stereotypes.

Through this program, we aim to:

• Strengthen individuals' capacity to prevent and combat hate speech

• Educate young people about equality, acceptance, and the recognition of bias and discrimination

• Bring to light the issue of misinformation and how it impacts democracy

How can I get involved?

• Join the Hate Trackers team

• Fight hate speech online and offline

• Connect with like-minded individuals

• Together, create a society that includes everyone

Together, we are building a network of support and acceptance to confront the hate speech we encounter everywhere — in the streets, on television, and on social media.

Let’s be the changemakers!

The program is co-funded by the European Union.
