HANDS OFF MY FRIEND!
Students participated in a series of workshops designed to educate young people about prejudice, to explore stereotyping and discrimination, and to raise awareness of hate crime and its impact on victims.
Facilitator, Angela Mulholland said: “The course also gives us an opportunity to raise awareness of the action which should be taken when confronted with hate crime, either as a witness or a victim, and to increase the reporting of hate crime through the use of the Hands Off My Friend App.
