Education
In June, ODIHR and UNESCO published
Addressing Anti-Semitism through
Education: Guidelines for Policymakers
as part of the Words into Action project.
The guidelines provide policymakers
with tools and guidance to ensure that
education systems build young people’s
resilience to anti-Semitic ideas and
ideologies, violent extremism and all
forms of intolerance and discrimination.
These complement ODIHR’s longstanding efforts to counter anti-Semitism through teaching materials,
designed with the Anne Frank House
in Amsterdam. Serbia was the latest
country to adopt a customized version
of these teaching materials, which
were presented during a workshop in
December in Belgrade. A first contingent
of teachers and trainers participated
in this workshop, empowering local
teachers to feel confident in using the
materials in their respective classrooms.
Promoting Holocaust education and
remembrance
ODIHR published an overview of
remembrance and education practices
in OSCE participating States regarding
the Holocaust, the Roma and Sinti
genocide, and all other victims of
National Socialist persecution. The fifth
edition of Holocaust Memorial Days: An
overview of remembrance and education
in the OSCE region was presented at
the International Conference on the
Responsibility of States, Institutions and
Individuals in the Fight against AntiSemitism in the OSCE Area, organized
with the Italian OSCE Chairmanship and
held in Rome in January.
