is organising a workshop for the civil society organisations countering
hate speech and promoting rights of minority groups who are discriminated
and targets of hate speech. Fifteen civil society activists from EU
countries, will gather at the event in London between 22 – 26 May 2017.

The workshop organised within the Media against Hate
<http://www.media-diversity.org/en/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3129:media-against-hate-speech&catid=18:current-projects&Itemid=21>
project aims to explore different media tools that can be used in
countering hate speech. The trainers will particularly focus on digital
media tools and platforms that can be used to support the work of those
trying to counter hate speech. The workshop will be highly practical in
nature and one of the objectives will be for all trainees to produce at
least one media campaign product during the event.

Google will also contribute to the workshop both financially and by
providing one of its experts as a trainer. MDI and Google have joined
forces in order to explore different ways of fighting online discrimination
and hate speech, a topic which both organisations are passionate about.
Several other prominent media campaigners and diversity and freedom of
expression advocates will also contribute to the 5-day event.

CSO activists interested in participating at the workshop should contact
info(at)media-diversity.org <info at media-diversity.org> for further
information on how to apply to attend. All costs of participation will be
covered by the organisers.
