The #HITproject seminar was designed to is target at least 15 Stakeholders and Opinion formers in each partner country, aiming at raising awareness about Human Rights and research how to best counteract Hate Speech and Behaviour against Migrants (HSBM).

To create a replicable model, partners designed a flexible Syllabus, which is available here: D3_12_SyllabusEN

At the end of the seminar, participants should be able to recognise the positive value of creativity in campaigns against HSMB. Target groups: trainers, educators, researchers, policy makers, opinion formers, role models, media personalities, community and faith leaders, celebrities etc.

In Barcelona, the HIT seminar was orgaized by CEPS Projectes Socials at the Auditorium Sant Martí, on the 21st of November 2019. It was held on the stage of the auditorium (without audience), to emphasize symbolically that with HIT we are bringing the conversations about Human Rights & Hate Speech and Behaviour Against Migrants to the centre of the stage.

16 people attended the HIT seminar in Barcelona. Participants were invited by email, targeting a selection of profiles from the media, youth services, cultural and creative sector. They were chosen because they can be role models for young people and because they have a proven interest in combating racism and hate speech. Here some photos (click on image to view album):
