Advancing an Intersectional Approach to Addressing Antisemitism: Position Paper and Guidelines for Practitioners
The position paper titled “Advancing an Intersectional Approach to Addressing Antisemitism” is the result of extensive discussions and contributions from a two-year project called “Dare Together.” This paper is intended as a guide for ENCATE to explore how to foster an intersectional approach to countering antisemitism through education. Drawing from the position paper, the Guidelines for Practitioners intend to translate the theoretical frame discussed in the paper into practical recommendations for educational practitioners.
The nature of antisemitism is complex, influenced by regional histories, global events, and social dynamics that make a one-size-fits-all approach insufficient. Therefore, our intention is not to advocate for any singular viewpoint or reality but rather to explore antisemitism’s multiple dimensions in a nuanced, inclusive manner, as well as how it is understood and addressed within an intersectional framework. These publications acknowledge that our reflection here is exploratory rather than exhaustive, and we encourage organizational and institutional efforts to deepen this work.

Adressing Antisemitism through Education in the Visegrad Group Countries: A Mapping Report
This mapping report examines the Visegrad Group countries’ policies relating to remembrance and education about the Holocaust and antisemitism (the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia). The report draws on the studies on antisemitism published in the region and the interviews conducted with experts, researchers, pioneers, teachers, and Jewish community members.
The study consists of five sections. Section 1 provides background information and introduces the reader to relevant policies and penal measures. Section 2 examines Holocaust commemoration activities, and Section 3 looks at relevant government policies, including textbooks, curricula, and teacher training. Finally, Section 4 introduces civil society good practices, and Section 5 shares recommendations for authorities and civil society.
