International Palestinian Youth League implemented an initiative which has successfully empowered Palestinian youth to combat the spread of online extremism. Recognizing the internet's dual nature – a source of both connection and radicalization – the project focused on equipping young people with the skills to navigate the digital landscape responsibly. Training encompassed professional media production, critical thinking, and the development of counter-narratives to extremist ideologies. The program aimed to transform participants into agents of positive change, fostering tolerance and understanding within their communities. The project's success is demonstrably evident in the results. Participants produced 24 pieces of media, including infographics, video graphics, promotional materials, and a documentary film, all now available on the "Don't Hate لا تكره" Facebook campaign page. This content has reached over 200,000 young people across the Arab world, generating significant engagement with over 17,500 likes and numerous comments. Viewership of the produced materials has surpassed 20,000 hits, showcasing the project's considerable impact.
