New Media and NGOs

The term of new media has ensued with the development of technologies; for example of web2.0,
social media, weblog etc. New media has dispossessed the monopoly journalists, editors, media
institutions of news source contrary to traditional media and included all segments of society. These
developments have brought about big opportunities and some problems. Some of the advantages are
new job opportunities these technologies give, employability, easier access to information and target
group. One of the biggest problems is hate speech and crimes.

With our project "New Media and NGO's", we want to popularize the opportunities of new media for
youth workers and NGO any longer and raise awareness of this group about hate speech. 10 nongovernmental
organizations from 10 countries and 40 youth workers will come together between the
dates of 18-25 February 2018 in İzmir, Turkey with the project "New Media and NGO's". The
participants will get training about new media tools, weblog applications, hate speech and its types,
freedom of expression and carry out workshops with common learning techniques. Moreover the
participants will carry on getting into a partnership with each other and other NGOs in İzmir and its
local area for new projects and carry out works for “New Media and Hate Speech Handbook for Youth
Workers” until the end of project.
