“EUROTOPIA”
The aim of this project is to create counter narratives by a international video campaign and a ”call to action” campaign- to counteract right wing and Islamic extremism propaganda on social media. The project will be a three country cooperation between partners from Sweden, Italy and Belgium. Belgium and Sweden have faced terrorist attacks and we wish to counter further attacks and act proactively concerning the case of Italy. The aim is to challenge the definition of who the hero and villain is in the narrative that is formatted by the extremist propaganda and promote visions of co-existence and tolerance. The fundamental thing we want to do is to change the story by changing the image, to be able to halt recruitment and foster behavior change. The aim is to create a 21 video package consisting of 3 minutes per video that will portray victims, former extremists and key against working against extremism. we wish to personalise the stories behind extremist violence from a holistic experience and also bring forth young voices and how they see us co-existing in the EU in the future.
Partners: Muzicadelic Entertainment (Sweden), CESIE (Italy) and Out of the Box International
