Freedom of Speech
In this activity, participants will explore the importance of freedom of speech as a fundamental right in democratic societies. Through an interactive series of questions and a set of thought-provoking scenarios, they will learn what this right means in practice, its boundaries, and why it is essential for open dialogue, activism, and holding power to account.
Participants will be invited to reflect on real-world cases where freedom of speech is protected—or challenged—and express their views through short written responses. This activity encourages critical thinking, respectful expression of opinions, and a deeper understanding of how this right is connected to active citizenship and democracy.
By the end of the activity, participants will be able to recognize the value of free expression, understand its limitations (e.g. hate speech or disinformation), and feel empowered to use their voice constructively.
