Human Rights Defenders Project in Slovakia 2-8 December
Location: Trnava, Slovakia
The internet is a central part of our daily lives, therefore understanding and protecting human rights in the digital space should be a crucial skill of our time. Youth workers today have an important role in empowering young people to be aware of their digital rights, the limits of free speech, and how to defend against online attacks. This training will equip youth workers with the tools and knowledge to confront hate speech, manage conflicts in digital spaces, and foster a safe, respectful online environment. Through interactive workshops and expert-led discussions, participants will explore key topics like the boundaries of free speech, international human rights protection, and the importance of online safety and netiquette. We aim to build a future where digital spaces are approached in the same respectful and rights-based way as the physical world.
Age of participants: 18+
Dates: December 2-8
Accommodation and meals during the project will be free of charge. Travel expenses will be reimbursed after the project
