The hate speech is not only in our lives but also in lives of people around us. We tried to figure out why the hate speech exists. Every member of our project tried to do something that can help to decrease “Hate speech”
Proposals for this project came from Paul- one of the leaders from Germany ESW youth club – he is the main man who explained everyone the goals of our project, gave advices.
In Estonia, Tallinn already the second meeting of this project was taking place. Members were living all together for 4 days in Hotel nearby Tallinn. The first evening and every morning we had energizers and short and funny games to get to know each other.

We could ask questions on any topics which we were interested in. At the end of the day lovely Estonian dinner was waiting for us.
The main aim of project was The Movie about minorities, refugees and violence. During the project we had talked a lot about what we made and what we have to do. Each group showed their films teasers and talked little bit about idea of the film. Jacob and Achim – two Germans – helped us with this task.
We had unforgettable evenings together. We tried national food, danced folk and disco dances, played games and learned some words from the other languages.
