The media training will be held from 7th to 11th of July 2014 at Bishkek. During the training, participants will increase their theoretical and practical knowledge of creation of content focused on ethnic issue and sharpen the skills of applying multimedia technologies.
The participants agreed the idea of diversity and multilinguism
should be supported and widely promoted to make representatives of all ethnic
groups living in Kyrgyzstan feel themselves comfortable and equal. However, media
attempts are not sufficient. A package of measures is required at the level of
state policy.

The report was based on the analysis of hate content carried in the surveyed newspapers published in Osh, Jalal-Abad and Batken regions and some print media distributed in Bishkek and Chui region, online media and posts in social networks.All surveyed media were examined for ethnic stereotypes and xenophobia.
Current content analysis showed the relevance and timeliness of the survey, and found a range of factors pointing at impending conflict in the Kyrgyz society.
A new Hate Speech report finds a range of factors pointing at impending conflict in the Kyrgyz society. The report gives trends, comparative analysis and dynamics, subjects and victims of hate speech, examples of most widespread clichés and stereotypes.
In spite of that in 2013, radical type of hate speech was used less frequently in articles, the level of hate towards ethnic groups in the media remains quite high with some change in the types of ad hominem attacks and use of covert hate.
