#NetWithoutHate
For an internet free of hate and a more humane online world
For us, it is very important that everyone has access to the possibilities of the digital world and hate on the internet poses a threat to the safety, respect and inclusiveness of this space. This negative phenomenon especially affects young people, who, as digital natives, are the most affected. Through this partnership, we aim to give children the power, space and tools to co-create initiatives that fit their own experience and align with their daily struggles online.
We think it's very important that everyone can use the digital world.
But hate on the internet is a problem. It makes the online space unsafe and unfair.
Young people are especially affected because they spend a lot of time online.
With this partnership, we want to help children create their own ideas and projects that match their experiences and help them deal with problems they face online.
#NetWithoutHate
Foundation Telekom for Macedonia and UNICEF partnership for an internet free of hate and create a youth-led movement #NetWithoutHate for a more humane online world.
#NetWithoutHate
Our goal is to offer girls and boys from the age of 14 to 18 social skills and coping strategies, build their resilience to fight online hate and inspire others to join the movement.
Key components include:
We want to help girls and boys between 14 and 18 years old learn social skills and ways to deal with problems.
This will make them stronger and help them stand up to hate on the internet.
We also hope they will inspire others to join and take action.
The most important parts of this program are:
Child-led Peer-to-Peer Programme: Adolescents from diverse backgrounds are developing creative anti-bullying initiatives through workshops, mentorship, and community activities. These include tools like codes of conduct, quizzes, creative materials, and engaging events to promote safe online behavior. Through the programme, adolescents should gain the skills and confidence to become Advocates to tackle online hate in their local communities, and to deliver the programme to their peers.
In this youth-led programme, teenagers from different backgrounds create fun and helpful ideas to stop bullying.
They take part in workshops, get support from mentors, and join group activities.
They make things like rules for good behavior, quizzes, creative materials, and events to teach safe online habits.
The goal is to help them learn new skills, feel confident, and become role models who speak out against online hate and share what they’ve learned with other young people.
Toolkit for Teachers & Youth Workers: A practical resource with guidance, fact sheets, and posters co-created with youth, to support long-term prevention efforts in schools and communities.
Toolkit for Teachers and Youth Workers:
This is a helpful set of materials made together with young people. It includes tips, fact sheets, and posters.
The toolkit is designed to help schools and communities prevent problems like bullying over a long time.
Social mobilization action and Community Outreach: The peer-to-peer programme initiatives will be first piloted in the local communities and then officially launched in through promotional caravans in 20 schools/locations in diverse municipalities all over the country. This approach will create a ripple effect by empowering children to lead the change and create a movement that will continue to grow.
Social Action and Community Outreach:
The peer-to-peer programme will first be tested in local communities.
Then, it will be shared more widely through special events in 20 schools and places across the country.
This will help children become leaders and start a movement that keeps growing and helps more people.
Co-Created Campaigns: Youth-driven media campaigns—developed during creative events aim to raise awareness and inspire replication of the programme in more schools and communities.
Overall, the initiative empowers young people to become changemakers in creating safer, bully-free environments online and offline.
Co-Created Campaigns:
Young people create media campaigns during fun and creative events.
These campaigns help others learn about the programme and encourage more schools and communities to join and do the same.
This project helps young people become leaders who make the world safer, both online and in real life, by standing up against bullying.
