No one is born to hate: Addressing hate speech through education

Подробнее о видео

Hate speech is on the rise. Hatred, conspiracy theories and prejudice infiltrate our societies and affect all of us. We are flooded by information - and disinformation - more than ever before both on- and offline. But no one is born to hate. Hate is learned and can be unlearned. Education for all is the foundation. Learning to think critically about what we see and hear, create and share is essential. Providing learners with media and information literacy skills to challenge those who promote hatred.

UNESCO and the UN Office of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide (OSAPG) are convening the Global Multi-stakeholder Forum on addressing hate speech through education on 30 September and 1 October 2021. It is the first time experts from around the world – representing Member States, academia, the private sector including social media and technology firms, NGOs and advocacy groups, and civil society and youth – have the opportunity to come together, share good practices, identify solutions and challenges, and chart the way forward to address the complex phenomena of hate speech.
