The leading platform on hate crime and hate speech

As a person who is a data collection focal point for CSO data in Croatia, this will help me a lot in the work I do when preparing our yearly data base for ODIHR submission. I plan to organise a mini-training (just a simple online meeting with my colleagues from other CSOs) where I would present what I learnt and some of the supporting materials. This will serve as motivation for my peers to apply for the next sessions that will be available in the future.

“As Chief Inspector of the Judiciary Police, I warned my team to avoid acting according to stereotypes and to see all citizens as equal.”

“The live tutorials gave a sense of community and being part of the real thing”

“I liked how they (the tutors) gave detailed feedback on the assignments. It was reassuring and quite encouraging to hear positive feedback from them and see their enthusiasm about our active participation.”

“The course promoted a positive learning environment because it allowed us to share experiences between participants from various organizations and countries.”

“I learned to recognize different levels of discrimination; what police and institutional profiling is; impact on people and community; tools (legal, administrative, educational) to reduce profiling.”

"The strong motivation of our team and Facing Facts support made the difference and was key to navigate the administrative and technical challenges in order to have the course widely accessible by the Italian police forces"

I liked that I myself had to think and research during exercises so I would learn more about local institutions and networks and that I didn't simply have to take a test.

What I liked the most is the interactive aspect of it; the quality of the information and knowledge.

It provided me with a rare opportunity to discuss the matter with colleagues from other sections and other field offices, thus giving me a new and broadened look on the issue of hate crimes.
