Membres et projets des écoles
Vous découvrirez ci-dessous comment les écoles de toute l'Europe travaillent sur les six thèmes du projet à travers le prisme du Cadre de référence des compétences pour une culture de la démocratie.
Au printemps 2018, à l'occasion de la phase de pré-lancement du Projet, 2 324 écoles ont participé à l'enquête en ligne Des écoles démocratiques pour tous. Vous trouverez plus d'information concernant cette enquête ici.

Short description of the project:
Aims/objectives
Combating hate speech on the Internet means drawing attention to the problem, but also building the capacity of young people and teaching staff to acquire the competences necessary to recognise and act effectively against this kind of human rights violation both online and offline.
Expected results/outcomes
Involving students, parents and teachers, the project was implemented by creating an offline and online platform established in 19 secondary and 4 primary schools in Montenegro:
- over 25 training sessions were organised for peer educatorsstudents and their mentors-teachers (approximately 25 participants per training)
- students’ activities included peer workshops, panel discussions and public debates that made a direct impact on approximately 15 000 students and 1 000 teachers
- research on attitudes and experiences of hate speech in two schools in 2014 and national research in 2018 were both publicly announced and promoted,
- printed and other material was published and distributed throughout Montenegro,
- an online and offline media campaign was organised, in which Facebook and Twitter accounts were created and moderated. It was promoted not only in Montenegro, but also in the region and further afield.
Changes
- Creation of an environment in which young people learn and adopt core human rights values
- Creation of an environment free from hate speech in which teachers, parents and young people take part together in the prevention and intervention
- Improvement in relations between teachers and students as they work together on problem solving
- Increased awareness and competences of young people and their teachers to recognise and confront hate speech both online and offline using existing mechanisms
- Teachers and students given concrete tools for combating hate speech
- Increased awareness of parents and teachers about the abuse of children online and how to protect them
- Educational and informational material was produced and serves as a permanent source of knowledge (brochures, leaflets, training material, peer workshops, etc.)
- Cooperation among secondary schools was fostered
- Cooperation between secondary schools and other stakeholders (NGOs, media, institutions of the system) is improved
Challenges you faced
- Adopting the activities in a local context (in regard to part of Montenegro). By recognising local problems and focusing on them, it was easier to connect with the problem of hate speech and how to resolve it
- Lack of motivation of parents to attend organised activities
- Lack of free time for organising different activities in school: both teachers and students are overwhelmed with the school year curricula
- Funding the activities: there are not many donors that will fund projects developed by schools/school networks
This project was a new experience for our Volunteers club and we realised that it is very important to carry out similar projects because they provide the opportunity to young people to cooperate with teachers and parents in solving problems. It is also a chance for schools to work closely.
