The European Practitioners Network against Antisemitism (EPNA) initiated its activities with a kick-off event held on both September 6th and 12th, 2023. These events drew the participation of 38 individuals representing 34 civil society organizations from a diverse array of European countries, including Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Serbia, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

These gatherings served as a platform for introducing EPNA to network members, marking the first occasion for them to become acquainted with the organization’s mission. Beyond familiarizing participants with EPNA’s initiatives, the kick-off fostered connections among attendees.

Prior to the kick-off event, participants were requested to provide insights into their respective areas of expertise. The responses were categorized into several thematic areas, each of which could potentially serve as a focal point for future network endeavours:

  1. Holocaust education and combating Holocaust distortion/denial.
  2. Addressing antisemitism within educational institutions, including schools and universities, and examining antisemitic trends among young people.
  3. Exploring the intersection of antisemitism with racism, conspiracy ideologies, and misogyny.
  4. Tackling online antisemitism, countering fake news, and addressing online radicalization.

Surveys conducted both before and during the event unveiled significant potential for collaborative efforts at the European level. Many participants expressed explicit expectations that EPNA would serve as a platform for exploring concrete opportunities for cooperative projects with other organizations. Numerous organizations inquired about support for initiating and implementing such projects during and after the event.

To facilitate these collaborations, participants were provided with a comprehensive overview of the microgrant programme, including its objectives and the application process. The feedback collected through a polling tool and subsequent discussions with participants unequivocally demonstrated a high level of interest in the microgrant programme, with many expressing their intent to apply for these grants.

Lastly, participants were briefed on EPNA’s project plans for the upcoming period. These plans include bi-monthly digital check-ins, a series of five in-person workshops hosted in various European cities throughout 2023 and 2024, and a concluding conference scheduled for the spring of 2025.

CPPD | Rückblick: Abschlussfestival »Memory Matters«

Netzwerkpartner*innentreffen & Abendveranstaltung | 18.-19. Oktober 2024
„Wie weiter? – Gegenwart erinnern: Der 24. Februar 2021, der 7. Oktober 2023 & der 9. Juni 2024.“

Die CPPD und ihre Netzwerkmitglieder fordern eine Stärkung und nachhaltige Sicherung ihrer Arbeit für eine demokratische Plurale Erinnerungskultur. Pluralität bleibt das Strukturprinzip unserer Gesellschaften – trotz eines Erstarkens der rechtsextremen und faschistischen AfD in Deutschland, trotz der Wahlerfolge rechter und rechtsextremer Kräfte in Europa, trotz andauernder Kriege und Gewaltkonflikte in der Ukraine, in Israel, Gaza und im Libanon. Mit ihren Aktivitäten und Veranstaltungsformaten schafft die CPPD einzigartige Räume des Pluralen, die Dialog zulassen und zu konkretem Handeln führen.
