Training sessions in schools on the shores of Lake Kivu and Sake

15 May 2023
Young people often occupy the ambivalent position of agents and targets of hate speech. In North Kivu province, particularly in Masisi territory, students are among the most vulnerable groups, frequently exploited in ongoing conflicts.

The training sessions were carried out in May 2023 in six schools on the shores of Lake Kivu and Sake: Institut Kirotshe, Miséricorde Divine, Institut Don Bosco, Ecole primaire Kirotshe, Institut Bwermana and Institut Mululu.

Although there were a limited number of participants in the training, the messages of combating hate speech and preventing mass atrocities reached numerous students and teachers in the six schools.
