NeAR us!
• A national network against all discriminations
• Our activities are done by and for the people with the aim to:
- Create awareness and a collective story- See youth as active citizens (from
problem to resources)

Networks: a more critical approach
• We rely on networks every day
• Networks are not just matter of size
• Networks have more than a simple material value
![Page 7: De Cave, Lulli - National Youth Work Network Against all Discriminations](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568bd56e1a28ab2034986cc1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Networks• Centrality of the network
• The «provider» of the network
• Network structure (including how members behave)
• Network strategy

Online vs offline networks?• The myths of the internet: impunity and
anonomity • Is the Internet a private world? • The neo-geographical nature of the Internet

Why a network against discriminations?
• Governments cannot govern alone• Networks are for and against the
action of the government => democratic rules
• Networks against discrimination manage to shape the consistency of the freedom of speech vs regulation discourse
![Page 11: De Cave, Lulli - National Youth Work Network Against all Discriminations](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568bd56e1a28ab2034986cc1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Which approach should we adopt?
• A Human rights perspective• A preemptive perspective• Both are not contradictory as they
focus on an action that is before discrimination takes place
• Are the SNS we know repressive or preemptive?
• Intersectional activities
![Page 12: De Cave, Lulli - National Youth Work Network Against all Discriminations](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568bd56e1a28ab2034986cc1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“Education is an important factor in this – the more people realise that hate speech is a crime and do not consider it acceptable, the more people report it, resulting in criminals getting the punishment they deserve”.- How to use the terms?- How to broaden the concept of racism in
order to better its understanding ?
![Page 13: De Cave, Lulli - National Youth Work Network Against all Discriminations](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568bd56e1a28ab2034986cc1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Social learning theory• Humans learn to interact from the
others• Learning is not only behavioural, but
it is a cognitive process• Languages and behaviours can be
used to intimidate and assess a specific cultural message
• A case study: the rate of suicide in UK among LGB
![Page 14: De Cave, Lulli - National Youth Work Network Against all Discriminations](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568bd56e1a28ab2034986cc1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Social learning: when it is a virtuose circle
• Learning together and feeling part of the process
• The power of stories of people and initiatives
![Page 15: De Cave, Lulli - National Youth Work Network Against all Discriminations](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568bd56e1a28ab2034986cc1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Social learning and the internet
The use of regulation, if important, it is not however enough. We need to better the quality of the communication on the internet. Such a target may be reached not focusing on the repressing part, but rather focusing on the part connected to the pre-emption. Networks like Facebook and twitter have their own regulations that try to remove the content which is based on hate speech, however they often fail. And they often fail because their action is still situated in a continuum of time that goes chronologically after the discrimination act has come out. In order to tackle hate speech behaviour and, more in general, discriminatory behaviour probably we do not need new laws (this must be read as a provocation), but we basically need a different approach that can go from one side to the unification of legislative frame and fostering the role of culture.

Discrimination on the internet• flaming (online fights using angry and vulgar language),• harassment (insulting messages, like indirect bullying),• denigration (sending or posting cruel gossip or rumors about
a person to damage her reputation),• exclusion (from an on-line group),• impersonation (pretending of being someone else putting
him in danger or damaging the person's reputation),• outing (sharing secrets or gossip or other personal
information),• trickery (deceiving someone online and obtain damaging
information then are shared),

Discrimination on the Internet• cyberstalking (online obsessive and continuous controlling and spying).
• Cyberthreats: are either direct threats or “distressing material”—general statements that make it sound like the writer is emotionally upset and may be considering harming someone else, harming himself or herself, or committing suicide.
• Sexting is a combination of two terms “text” and “sex.” The term is being applied to situations to sending self-created nude or semi-nude sexually provocative images or sexually explicit text. Most of the focus has been on sending nude images - because these are far more likely to be more widely disseminated and because the distribution of these images can place young people at higher risk.

What to do then?• Focus on the consequences and not
on the intentions• Clear policies – routinise your anti-
discrimination actions• Informing (young)people: what they
expect, procedures• Involvement of everyone in the
trainings

manager and can shape positively the language adopted by the community. Each person is different!!!

• Policy-making oriented approach: combining the vertical and horizontal dimensions

How to make a campaign?- What does the campaign aim to achieve?- What change do you want (short & long term)- Do you really need a campaign? - Who is the target of the campaign? Who needs to change and how?- Who do you need on your side?- What publicity do you need?- Try and have a planning committee that consists at least partly of the people concerned, the people living in the area- Choose the most appropriate method:- direct action (non-violent protest actions)- political lobbying- public demonstrations/festivals/manifestations- education- media- Delegate responsibilities- Make a time table for the campaign and check it regularly
