Description
Hate speech (HS) is a global issue. The intentional expression of group-related derogation has become more widespread in recent years and potentially bears negative consequences for individuals, communities, and societies (Kansok-Dusche et al., 2023). After the internet, the school is a context where children and adolescents perpetrate and witness HS or become victims of it (Castellanos et al., 2023). However, schools also represent a suitable location to address HS incidents and to prevent future HS. To date, there is limited evidence on the availability, quality, and effectiveness of school-based programs to deal with HS.
This systematic review aims to compile a catalog of available school-based programs on HS that particularly target children and adolescents. Two independent reviewers evaluated the programs’ quality on a criteria-driven basis. The quality criteria combine perspectives from science (e.g., Nation et al., 2003) and secondary school teachers, and from students. The perspectives of the school practitioners were collected in qualitative interviews and focus group discussions. Two coders extracted the quality criteria using grounded theory methods.
Of the 27 programs identified, 25 originate from Europe. The presentation will provide an overview of the programs and their quality results. Recommendations will be given for program implementation in schools and for further program improvement.
