These are projects related to value-based conflicts in Central Europe. We understand that many issues we are struggling with are not solely a Slovak problem. We collect best practices from around Europe, network important players, train, and learn from our partners.
The PANORAMA project (2022 - 2023) will analyse online hate speech through its patterns and dynamics with the aim to counteract hate speech worldwide. It will breach the challenges of addressing hate speech, which lay in the lack of understanding of its online trends and characteristics.
This program (2022 - 2023) aims at training and mentoring national or local government officials and civil society community leaders from 7 countries (Slovak Republic, Czech Republic, Austria, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary).
The project (2021 - 2022) aims to train and mentor national or local government officials and civil society community leaders in the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic on best practices for preventing and countering racially/ethnically motivated violent extremism. The target group of the project are mix of law enforcement representatives (local police), local municipalities representative and civil society representatives from 5 Slovak counties (Trnava, Nitra, Banská Bystrica, Žilina and Košice) and Brno from Czechia.
In online debates, extreme opinions for or against are often the loudest. Think about discussions about refugees and integration. But between these small groups of black-and-white thinkers there is a large group with a variety of opinions. Project Grey (2018 - 2020) wants to reinforce these societal voices and, thereby, tackle polarization as well as the processes of radicalization that arise from it.
In light of the increasing level of intolerance, discrimination, and group hatred in Europe, the CEE Prevent Net project (2019 - 2020) aims at safeguarding young people by strengthening their resilience towards these phenomena and their skills to contribute to a peaceful and democratic society.
The project (2017 - 2018) has connected initiatives around Europe that strive to depolarize society and develop techniques of dialogue among various social groups. We have connected people and organizations working at a grassroots level to ease tensions on value-based issues. How does one discuss refugees, LGBTI, Roma, or national identities in Europe? We are collecting the best practices and best people, who are always trying.
