ACTIVE YOUTH – through democratic values, CAMPAIGNS PROMOTING DEMOCRATIC VALUES
From 1st of July to 30th of August 2017, the young participants in the project “ACTIVE YOUTH – through democratic values” organized and implemented campaigns to promote democratic values in the partner countries: Romania, Bulgaria, Portugal and Spain. The campaigns approached themes from the sphere of democratic values such as human rights, active citizenship, gender equality and chances, the fight against hate speech, and had the role of raising awareness of democratic values.
ROMANIA – Active Rights aimed at raising the awareness of the citizens of Drobeta Turnu Severin about fundamental human rights by distributing flyers with information about these rights. Words from the heart was a campaign aimed at promoting the fight against the hate speech and alerting the verbal violence that is increasingly reported both online and offline. The young people created a poster presenting the theme of the campaign, namely No Hate speech, and invited the citizens to write as many positive messages as possible.
