Advocacy
CEJI contributes to policy-making processes dealing with antisemitism, racism, xenophobia,
discrimination and diversity education at the institutions of the European
Union, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and within the wider spectrum of European
organisations and networks active in these areas.
Our key advocacy objectives are to:
- Promote an inclusive Europe and the positive strategies to create it – specifically through the inclusion of diversity education in school curricula across the EU
- Confront that which prevents an inclusive Europe, such as institutional discrimination and hate speech.
Through our Advocacy Programme we:
- Advocate policies in the areas of CEJI’s concern;
- Monitor the implementation of existing legislation in these areas;
- Act as a point of reference for decision-makers within the European institutions on programmes and policies concerning diversity education and anti-discrimination;
- Stimulate policymaking through our close relations with a variety of organisations and networks.
Shiurim
Held in the centre of the EU Quarter, CEJI’s monthly
lunch debates (Shiurim – Hebrew for ‘lessons’) bring
CEJI’s key advocacy issues to the attention of European
civil servants and politicians and provide a platform for creating and sustaining a
dialogue between CEJI and the European institutions. More...
Details of CEJI’s current advocacy activities can be found in our monthly e-newsletter and on our Press page. For more details of CEJI’s advocacy work contact our Deputy Director responsible for EU Policy and Jewish Affairs Gidon Van Emden.
