1. Divide the class into small groups, according to different types of hate speech (for instance: body shaming, misoginy, against imigrants, against minorities, etc.). 2. In a big circle, sitting on the floor, every student thinks about and tells an own experience when he/she has thought or expressed an offensive comment or behaviour (hate speech) without being aware of its importance. Besides, he/she has to give him/herself a solution/advice to avoid it in the future. Other students can contribute to it with their opinion. 3. Coming back to the small groups, the students summarize the previous comments useful for their categories, and write down a list of questions and information they want to know about the hate speech in their city, country… 4. Students engage in research on the internet, trying to answer those questions with numerical and statistical information that helps them to be more specific, and to do chronological and geographical comparisons. 5. Then, the groups work to create an infographic design, by gathering questions and pieces of information. They can use their tablets and the online resource canva.com. 6. Once students finish their infographics, they have to present and to explain them to the rest of the groups.
