This manual was designed to help promote a new, alternative, pluralistic language to replace discriminatory discourse and hate speech which is a threat to co-existence. The manual, as the
implementation manual of the Towards a New Discourse Training, which was developed using non-formal education methodologies, presents the objectives, program, methods and materials of the
training. Consisting of three main sections which focus on ‘Discrimination’, ‘migration’ and ‘discourse’ the Towards a New Discourse Training Program aims to question prejudice and
misconceptions about refugees, help address polarisation within society, raise awareness of this issue and build a new language together.
This publication was developed with the financial support of the European Union. Hrant Dink Foundation takes full responsibility for the content herein; the publication does not necessarily

This presentation discusses hate speech directed particularly towards Syrian refugees with examples primarily from the press and social media in Turkey. These examples should be replaced by local examples depending on the location of the training.
