The paper presents the results of action research aimed at countering hate speech through a peer-to-peer approach, carried out with a group of young people of Roma and non-Roma origin, engaged in the creation of counter-narratives through visual methods. The text is a narrative and critical analysis of the action-research in all its phases, highlighting its transformative potential as well as its pedagogical implications: it considers how the participants were involved in the reappropriation of self-narratives through the photography; it addresses how the and young participants co-created and disseminate a campaign; moreover the results of the workshops, which were facilitated with a peer-to-peer approach to raise awareness about the impact of hate speech on people onlife, are shown.
