EPNA | Podcast: Episode 10

The EPNA Autumn Workshop in Rome brought together practitioners from across Europe to explore the issue of antisemitism in Italy. As the host of the oldest Jewish community, Italy is a very interesting case study from historical and political perspectives. Learning at the workshop took place through presentations on the Italian case and a panel discussion which brought together policymakers to discuss the topic of building trust across sectors in order to combat antisemitism. Furthermore, the workshop provided participants with skills training and opportunities to engage in active exchange with local organisations.
