How to deal with hate on the internet? MEET discussion meeting in Vienna, 4 June 2018

Cyberbullying, fake news, hate speech – these terms have long since become part of everyday school life. Online, rumors and hate messages spread faster than ever, opinions are sold as facts and behind it is an algorithm that is hard to see through. For the schools, online media are another challenge and usually they are left alone. The MEET discussion event analyzes the mechanisms of lies and hate in the net and presents concrete tools and strategies for media education in schools.


Together with the author and digital ambassador of Austria Ingrid Brodnig and the media educator Katja Friedrich, we discuss concrete fields of action for teachers, youth workers and pupils.
