CREATE SHORT FILMS TO STOP HATE IN THE CLASSROOMS

Achieving a more just and equaliary society is one of the challenges we face nowadays. With that goal in mind, the European initiative Hate Interrupter Teams (HIT) seeks to combat the hate towards migrants and minorities through participatory activities.

Working with teenagers is crucial to achieve this goal, beacuse their world view begins to form at this age. Through the HIT project, students from 14-19 years old recibe talks and workshops to reflect on how xenophobic behaviour and discrimination on the basis of ethnicity and origin is installed in the conversations and habits of everyday life.

The initiative began in October 2018 and will last for two years. It is being developed in a network across several European countries: Cyprus, United Kingdom, Italy, Greece, Germany, Bulgaria and Spain. Different organisations from the third sector are in charge of organising activities and energising the network in each of the countries.

CEPS Projectes Socials is the organization that leads the project in Spain. One of the main activities has been the realization of audiovisual workshops with secondary and high school students in different schools of Barcelona.

The production company El Parlante has been responsible for giving these practical workshops and helping the students in the tasks of writing the script, editing and publishing.
