Alternative Narratives for Tolerance and Intercultural Dialogue to Overcome stereotypes and spread Equality
THE POISON: EXTREMIST NARRATIVES
Extremist or populist movements instrumentalize the political discourse by stigmatizing migrants and minorities, creating a breeding ground for intolerance and discrimination, amalgamating distinct concepts as well as crisis and migration, terrorism and migration in order to polarize public opinion.
Our mission is to take action against the regular stigmatization of the migrants and minorities through alternative narratives by promoting understanding and interaction to establish a common ground between different cultures and communities.
