Judaism and Islam

This training program focuses on the interconnections between Judaism and Islam—including their similarities and differences. With a critical eye toward discrimination, we discuss religion, ritual practices, and cultural identity. The focus is on the challenges faced by religious minorities in a secular, predominantly Christian society. There will be an opportunity to discuss current tensions, including their impact on Jews and Muslims in Germany.

Talking about the Middle East

In this training session, we will discuss events in the Middle East and address emotionally charged debates in Germany. We aim to create a space where we can talk respectfully about the conflict. We will work with film examples, incorporate the perspectives of those affected, and learn to recognize and contextualize anti-Semitic and racist statements in connection with the Middle East conflict. The goal is to gain insights and methods for use in school settings.

Everything you ever wanted to know about Judaism...

...but were afraid to ask. We are often unsure about how to approach questions about the Jewish religion, antisemitism or the Shoah. This training session is a space for you to ask your questions and a chance to become familiar with an extracurricular place of learning. The aim is to consolidate your knowledge and approach to the subject, so that you can work effectively with your pupils at school and in the classroom.
