Anti-Semitism is a heterogeneous phenomenon: How can the different forms of anti-Semitism be countered with education? What challenges and pitfalls can be identified? What approaches and strategies in terms of content and didactics can be used to combat anti-Semitism through education?
After two 15-minute keynote speeches by Elke Rajal and Marc Grimm, which first addressed basic questions the panellists discussed the issue together with other experts from practice and research. Here you can listen to the two keynote speeches as well as to the subsequent discussion.
