Between 28-30 June 2017, the Council of Europe organized the 5th and last annual coordination meeting of 70 activists, national coordinators, consultants and experts of the No Hate Speech Movement, in Bucharest, Romania. 70 activists and national campaign coordinators, consultants and experts convened to strengthen the coordination and impact of the campaign at European and national level, integrating new tools, good practices and strengthening their visibility.
