Training course ‘Antisemitism in schools - recognising, understanding and taking decisive action together’
This interdisciplinary programme is aimed at teachers from all types of schools (except primary schools) and combines face-to-face events with self-study and trial phases.
Objective of the training programme:

• Building and deepening knowledge about anti-Semitism
• Acquisition of pedagogical skills in prevention, intervention and repression
• Support in the systemic anchoring of sustainable measures in schools
• Reflection on own attitudes and stereotyping

The training programme is based on four central pillars:

1. self-reflection
2. imparting content knowledge
3. development of practical knowledge
4. promotion of knowledge relevant to school development

The programme extends over a school term and offers participants the opportunity to closely combine theory and practice. The training programme understands the prevention of anti-Semitism as the promotion of democracy and strengthens teachers' ability to deal with current challenges.
