Imagine the EU asks you to help with combating hate in society by shaping its policies. Do you say yes?
Gemma – a lovely Italian grandma, Martin – an actor and drag performer from Slovakia, Daniel – a cargo office agent from Germany, and 147 other randomly selected EU citizens didn’t just imagine it—they lived it. Over three weekends in Brussels, they engaged in fruitful debates and discussions on how to tackle hatred in society.
The result? 21 concrete recommendations presented to the European Commission.
