Become an E-Activist Youth Ambassador With Us

Faith Matters is looking to provide 25 young people aged 18-30 with free access to an E-Activism and Combating Xenophobia course. The course will provide face to face training and support for 24 hours per young person and will provide participants with a greater insight into hate crime work and some of the issues affecting this area of work such as the growth in social media participation on-line. We are keen in supporting the learning and development of 25 young people so that they can become E-activist Youth Ambassadors against hate, intolerance and xenophobia.

We are looking to hold the sessions in London and the first sessions will start in mid-September 2014. The course will cover the following areas:

• Racism, xenophobia and religious hatred in the UK,
• Critical examinations of xenophobia and hatred,
• Hatred on-line: White nationalists, counter-Jihadists and the Twitter age,
• On-line hatred and the law,
• Social media providers and on-line reporting mechanisms,
• The police and on-line hate crime,
• The Court and the victim – how to protect victim’s rights,
• Is the law even the right tool for the job?
• On-line activism, looking inwards,
• On-line activism, looking outwards,
• The future of on-line hate crime work.
