Check out out the conclusions of the European Citizen’s Panel on Tackling Hatred in Society

150 randomly selected citizens from the 27 Member States had been meeting since April to discuss the root causes of hatred and how to combat them, as well as how to build bridges between marginalised groups and communities. All forms of hatred and intolerance are incompatible with the values of human dignity, freedom, democracy the rule of law and respect of human rights, enshrined in the Treaty on European Union.  The panel's final recommendations were presented on 19 May. To name a few:

  • Creating an EU Safe Surfing Card
  • Training for Tolerance (T4T)
  • Reliability, Facts and Transparency: Verifying and Clarifying the Financing of Information
