have done great work recently in promoting the language, the culture, but also minority rights on digital media. Secondly, states have to be more decisive in combatting hate speech. While regulatory institutions, such as the National Council for Anti-Discrimination, and the reactive work that they do is helpful and important, it is not enough. States have to be more proactive. Just like minority communities themselves, governments can also and MUST promote positive images about minorities, in order to deal with the root causes of racism and hate-speech, which is the lack of knowledge about the history and the culture of minorities. Therefore, we believe that it is not enough for minorities to be granted the right to learn about their own history and culture, but the majority should also be taught about the history and the culture of the minorities living in their countries. This can be achieved through educational programmes, while also using digital media as an indispensable platform in today’s world for promoting empathy and tolerance. Thank you!
