Dealing with discrimination in the comments section

Encouragement rather than incitement

In this webinar, you’ll learn how discrimination manifests itself in the comments section and what linguistic tools you can use to skilfully counter it. The aim is to ensure that trolls stay away in future and that those affected, as well as your own community, are protected. You’ll also gain an insight into typical disruptive strategies and an overview of the measures that support constructive discussions and how to promote positive narratives.

The webinar is aimed at people with or without responsibility for social media channels who have little or no experience of hostility in comments sections.
