Focus of this Session (Workshop 4) of HATE-LESS Train the Trainer (4/4): Creating Counter-Narrative Videos - From Reaction to Responsible Digital Action

Using participatory approaches inspired by the HATE-LESS methodology, participants will:
- Learn how to guide youth in recognising harmful narratives online
- Explore how counter-narratives can challenge hate speech and disinformation in a constructive way
- Create a short participatory video concept using empathy, inclusion, and responsible digital storytelling
This approach reflects the HATE-LESS focus on moving from awareness to action by helping young people respond to harmful narratives with creativity, critical thinking, empathy, and social responsibility.
Learning Objectives: Participants will:
- Understand how counter-narratives can be used in youth work to respond to hate speech and disinformation
- Learn how to facilitate participatory video activities that support responsible digital action

- Reflection and peer exchange
This aligns with the HATE-LESS Toolkit approach, which emphasises participatory storytelling, media literacy, and youth empowerment through creative expression.

๏ปฟ๐ How every Erasmus+ group chat starts vs. how it ends โ a journey in messages. If you've ever been part of an Erasmus+ project group chat, you already know the energy: the awkward introductions, the overenthusiastic emojis, the plans that never happen, and the inside jokes that follow you for years. This article captures the evolution of every Erasmus+ group dynamic with humour and honesty โ and if you haven't experienced it yet, consider this your preview of what's coming. ๐ https://youthworkshub.org/15112/
๐ The real story behind every Erasmus+ and ESC journey โ what happens before, during, and after.Every Erasmus+ and ESC project has an official timeline: application, preparation, mobility, evaluation. But the real story is much richer than that. This article takes you through what genuinely happens at each stage of a project's life โ the doubts, the breakthroughs, the unexpected friendships, and the quiet moments that change everything. A deeply human look at what these programmes mean beyond the paperwork. ๐ https://youthworkshub.org/15180/
๐จ How to spot a real Erasmus+ or ESC project โ and protect yourself from fake offers. As the popularity of Erasmus+ and ESC grows, so does the number of fraudulent offers mimicking legitimate projects. Fake calls, scam organisations, and misleading listings can be difficult to identify โ especially for first-time applicants. This guide gives you the specific red flags to watch for, the verification steps you should always take, and the key differences between genuine EU-funded projects and imitations. Stay informed, stay safe. ๐ https://youthworkshub.org/15135/
