Voices for respect, celebrating difference, and tackling hate (YCreate) is a Strategic Partnership between the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Italy, Greece, and Cyprus for Creativity in the Field of Youth in response to the COVID-19 situation.

The focus of this project is on equipping young people to counteract hate speech and violent behaviour, disinformation, and misinformation (offline and online) targeted at minorities and vulnerable communities through creative, arts-based, participatory, and digital activities that foster active citizenship and socially responsible actions.

Through this project, the partner countries will promote, connect and empower young people for civic and social participation at the local level, to engage them in active citizenship and solidarity among young people, and strengthen young people's sense of initiative in the social field and support their communities, while providing skills development through creativity and arts.
