As part of the MDF Festival, we explore art, music, and design, but each edition also addresses socially important topics. This year, we will tackle one of the most pressing issues of contemporary society: online hate.
In the age of global digitisation and the omnipresence of social media, the problem of hate speech and cyberbullying has become an extremely serious challenge we must confront. Online hate affects both adults and children, negatively impacting their mental and physical health. Verbal abuse, discrimination, and hatred are spreading in the online space, becoming a daily reality for many users.
Following the festival's theme – IMAGINE, the debate will be a space for creativity, imagination, and reflection on the challenges of the modern world. In this context, the use of imagination will become a key element in combating online hate. Imagination can become a force that allows us to explore new possibilities and create more friendly and safe spaces, even online.
During the discussion, the speakers will attempt to answer key questions: What are the main causes of online hate? How can we effectively respond to online hate speech? What roles can social media platforms and we as internet users play in combating hate?
