This project aims to address the issue of HATE SPEECH in DR Congo by organizing activities aimed at peacebuilding, social cohesion and peaceful cohabitation between communities. Through the implementation of a Peace Training and Education Center, young people both boys & girls (university students, secondary schools' pupils, etc), local authorities, women engaged in cross-border trade and other people from DRC and from the Great Lakes region will receive strategies on how to tackle Hate Speech.
Due to the situation of conflicts in DR Congo especially the current war between the DRC army forces and the M23, many congolese people develop a distrustful behaviour towards other community members because they think they've been supporting the enemies of DRC. Due to that situation, many people especially young people spread Hate Speech via different communication ways such as social media and direct messages. Your generosity will help tackle Hate Speech in DRC and spread messages of tolerance
Activities planned in this project through the establishment of this Center will somewhat contribute to reduce community conflicts in the Great Lakes region and more particularly in DRC. Many people such as young people, pupils, students, adults, children, civil and military authorities and even women engaged in cross-border trade who will pass through this Center will be trained, informed and educated on the culture of peace, social cohesion and other themes related to sustainable peace.
This project intends to be a framework for exchanges, information, training and education for sustainable peace in the Great Lakes region. It complays for advocacy for responsible behaviour and shared public campains and educational resources for all the communities living in Democratic Republic of Congo in particular and those of the Great Lakes region in genaral.
