Throwback to Tallinn: Less Hate. More Love.
Looking back at our HATE-LESS meeting in Tallinn, one message still resonates clearly: Less Hate. More Love.
The gathering marked an important milestone in the project. It was a space for reflection, exchange, and deeper collaboration around our shared goal: countering hate speech and fostering empathy, critical thinking, and dialogue among young people.
Being in the same room allowed us to test the HATE-LESS toolkit materials.
During the sessions, we explored:
- The relationship between AI, media, and responsibility
- The emotional mechanisms behind online engagement
- The power of narratives and counter-narratives
- Creative methods, such as participatory video, to amplify youth voices
The discussions reinforced an important insight: hate speech does not emerge in isolation. It is shaped by algorithms, emotional triggers, repeated messages, and social contexts. Addressing it requires media literacy, emotional awareness, and collaborative action.
Tallinn reminded us that building inclusive digital spaces is a continuous process. It takes commitment, reflection, and creativity. The energy and ideas generated during those days continue to shape our ongoing work within HATE-LESS.
