The LEAD-Online EU project partners gathered in Perugia on 20 & 21/04/2023 to discuss the next steps of our project, namely the scenarios and structure of the HateOut! Game that will help users combat hate speech incidents following an avatar’s actions and the LEAD-Online Talks, awareness raising events that will take place in all partners’ countries. Denitsa Lozanova, LEAD Online project manager and Rumyana Grozeva, financial manager, lead the sessions on the project management progress.

On behalf of the Sofia Development Association we want to thank FORMA.Azione Giove In Formatica for the excellent organisation and the warm hosting!

Validating the HateOut! Game concept with external experts was at the core of the discussion, which was done with Debora Barletta from No Hate Speech Movement Italia and other experts in the field. The 2nd day of our partners' meeting in Perugia offered a good chance to meet people from similar backgrounds who also shared their experiences on actions, projects, and campaigns with the same targets as the LEAD-Online project. 

The project is funded by the EU’s Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme. SDA is the lead partner and coordinator of the project with Asociatia Divers, Forma.Azione, Future Needs Management Consulting LTD, Hellenic Open University, ZARA - Zivilcourage und Anti-Rassismus Arbeit and Udruge Centar za Mir, Nenasilje i Ljudska Prava as partners.
