Seminar: Anti-Semitism Today - the New Normality

Experiences, Information, Counter-Arguments

Anti-Semitic views can be heard with increasing frequency in public and private life. They are making anti-Semitism socially acceptable once again and lending it an apparent normality.

Anti-Semitic statements are also becoming more common in schools. They force educators to show their own position, which is often difficult for a variety of reasons.

This Two-Day Advanced Educational Program will give teachers, social workers, and educators the chance to exchange experiences, broaden their knowledge of anti-Semitism and test out arguments against anti-Semitic stereotypes on their colleagues.
