This new cooperation between the two organizations is aimed at establishing a positive attitude towards reducing the use of hate speech in the local media and thus reducing its destructive impact on Syrian society as a new step towards achieving civil peace in the country and creating a democratic environment in which freedom of speech flourishes.<\/span><\/p>\n The \u201cObservatory of Hate Speech and Incitement to Violence\u201d seeks to build a broader partnership with local and international media and civil society organizations to build upon past experiences and endeavors in the implementation of this project. The program focuses on monitoring the content of the Syrian media, through a group of trained Syrian media monitors, to assess the use of hate speech and incitement, and raise awareness in the Syrian media community about the reasons for using this speech, its forms and consequences, and ways to deal with this issue. And establish tools and standards to limit its use.<\/span><\/p>\n The project encompasses two phases. The first phase which ended in December 2017 involved the preparation of the monitoring methodology, training of monitors on the methodology and the monitoring tools. The second phase requires monitoring and using the results to serve the development of the media work in Syria. During 1st phase, 24 monitors were trained on the curriculum, mechanism and tools and a pilot period was implemented. The second phase requires the hiring of selected monitors after the pilot phase to carry out the monitoring in accordance with the plan prepared for 2018. The second phase monitoring will be carried out in two different periods in 2018 with a time break of two weeks to two months, and for a limited period of time not exceeding two weeks per monitoring period.<\/span><\/p>\n SCM calls upon people with expertise and interest in overseeing the monitors, analysing and managing the data to review the following work requirements:<\/span><\/p>\n Tasks and Responsibilities:<\/span><\/p>\n Interested candidates should email their CVs including contact details of two professional references and cover letter to jobs@scm.bz with the job title in the subject line. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Job Title: Project Manager Unit\/Department: Media and Freedoms Unit Type of Contract: Consultancy Duration of Contract: 1 Year Contract Fee: Experience-based Location: Berlin or Paris Start date: As soon as possible Deadline for Applications:\u00a010\u00a0April\u00a02018 The Syrian Center for Media and Freedom of Expression (SCM) launched the \u201cObservatory of Hate Speech and Incitement to Violence\u201d […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":184016,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[295,318],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-183260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jobs-and-training","category-rotator-en","post-wrapper"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
