9 MAY | Workshop NOWALL “Europe, Human Rights and the Fall of the Berlin Wall”
On 9 May (from 10AM WEST), the NOWALL partners will be promoting the workshop “Europe, Human Rights and the Fall of the Berlin Wall”.
This workshop will be based on the “counter and alternative narratives” for the promotion of diversity in Europe. The idea is to involve the participants in deconstructing some arguments related to freedom of expression between the two sides of the Berlin Wall and the limits of it as a human right and the use of hate speech as a way of manipulating the masses, in the past and in the present.
The event will have the following organization:
1) 10:00 am to 1:30 pm (30min coffee break) – Freedom of Expression, a human right;
Detailed Timeline:
