This new UNESCO and the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE) co-publication takes up the challenge of educating learners to resist contemporary antisemitism at a time when the issue is becoming ever more crucial around the world. 

It suggests concrete ways to address antisemitism, counter prejudice and promote tolerance through education, by designing programmes based on a human rights framework, global citizenship education, inclusiveness and gender equality. It also provides policymakers with tools and guidance to ensure that education systems build the resilience of young people to antisemitic ideas and ideologies, violent extremism and all forms of intolerance and discrimination, through critical thinking and respect for others.

Training curricula

UNESCO and OSCE also developed training curricula to help teachers and school directors to prevent and respond to antisemitism.
