Jewish participation

Many of the humanistic principles engrained in Europe’s cultural and philosophical heritage, as enshrined in the European Charter of Fundamental Rights, are also core values of the Jewish tradition. As a leading European Jewish organisation, CEJI believes that the contribution of Jewish values, experiences and ideas is central to Europe’s future as a peaceful, integrated and just continent.

One of the key elements of CEJI’s work is to facilitate the involvement of Jewish communities in the European Union in order to ensure recognition for Jewish values, experiences and ideas at a European institutional level.

To this end, we work to increase Jewish community organisations’ participation in the EU through capacity building in EU affairs, fundraising and project management and activities that strengthen local leadership in Jewish community organisations.

We also bring issues affecting Jewish organisations to the attention of the EU institutions and act as a point of reference for matters related to the European Union, diversity education and anti-discrimination. For further details, visit our Advocacy page.
