OSCE/ ODIHR (https://www.osce.org/odihr/535692) – This online course, taking place on 1, 8 and 15 February 2023, will train up to 20 civil society representatives, including those from faith-based organizations and religious or belief communities, on recording and reporting hate crimes motivated by religion-related bias. The participants will be selected from across the OSCE region based on their work and interest in promoting tolerance and non-discrimination, including religion-related hate crime.

Objectives

The training will equip participants with the practical skills to identify, record and report religion-related hate crime. In particular, the training will deepen participants’ understanding of such crimes, including the fact that victims may be targeted for multiple identity characteristics, such as gender, ethnicity and nationality.

Participants will also have the opportunity to learn more about ODIHR’s approach to hate crime data collection, as well as the benefits of ensuring that religion-related hate crimes are reported.

Participants who successfully complete the course requirements will receive a certificate.
