How can we work together to combat antisemitism?
Education and Enlightenment
Through contemporary educational formats such as workshops, training sessions, and events, we aim to raise awareness about antisemitism, its history, and its modern manifestations. We place particular emphasis on dismantling prejudices and ideological fragments while sharpening the understanding of the difference between legitimate criticism and antisemitic ideology. Here you will find the educational offerings.
Joint Commitment
To implement these initiatives, we collaborate with recognized civil society organizations, both Jewish and non-Jewish, specialized institutions, anti-discrimination offices, and other academic institutions to pool resources and realize joint research and projects aimed at protecting those affected and preventing antisemitism. Additionally, we seek to promote student initiatives and intercultural dialogues to foster exchange and understanding between different groups. More information can be found here.
Protection Concepts and Reporting Chains
The UdK Berlin, in collaboration with external experts and those affected, will develop and establish protection concepts to prevent antisemitic incidents and support those affected. This includes anonymous reporting options, allowing individuals to safely and confidentially report antisemitic incidents. We ensure that every report is carefully reviewed and promptly addressed, with an initial response provided within one week of the report.
Raising Awareness through the Arts
As an art academy, we aim to harness the power of the arts to raise awareness and facilitate independent, action-guiding experiences. Through exhibitions, performances, concerts, and artistic projects, our students and faculty can engage with the topic of antisemitism and submit your ideas or specific events to us. These contributions make an important impact on understanding and dialogue and will be featured here.
Solidarity and qualified support
We take a clear stance against antisemitism and actively show solidarity with those affected. Through our partnership with OFEK e.V., which provides specialized psychosocial, legal, and psychological counseling in the field of antisemitism, we ensure that those impacted by antisemitism receive appropriate support. In addition, our anti-discrimination guidelines, the UdK Berlin 'Code of Conduct,' available sanction options, and an internal reporting system for antisemitic incidents or observations are in place.
