Information about the project
#BajemosElTono
BET
#BajemosElTono (cut down the aggressivity) is a campaign that seeks people to discuss with others without attacking on digital social networks. It covers sensitive topics such as religion, football soccer, vegetarianism, gender and politics. Issues that always generate strong arguments that usually end in insults and aggressions through the Internet. The campaign seeks to make people aware so that they avoid insulting themselves and, on the contrary, they manage to debate in a healthy and respectful manner, putting their point of view, without attacking each other. The campaign has a "coexistence kit" that contains digital content such as memes, images, audios and videos that can be downloaded through the website and with the participation of actors, politicians and public figures related to the discussion topics that invited the users to cut down the aggressivity. The campaign also took place at music festivals, professional football soccer matches and forums, managing to be a trending topic on Twitter and positioning the hashtag #BajemosElTono as a way of telling others that it is possible to debate without the need to insult on social networks.
National implementation: Colombia
Ongoing from 01/07/2017 to 31/12/2017
