Components of the practice

• Topics and objectives:

  
  Racism and anti-Semitism are connected to the issue of exclusion. There are many forms of exclusion and devaluation The booklet and online materials cover topics and questions that concern us all. Racism penalizes people - at school, at work, in everyday life. Anti-Semitism works in its own way. It not only depreciates Jews, but also fantasizes them as an overpowering threat. We talked to adolescents of different backgrounds and religions about their experiences with anti-Semitism, racism and homophobia, and more generally about exclusion and devaluation. Their opinions and insights form the basis of the learning book. The online materials are based on the feedback and suggestions of those who have already worked with the learning booklet.
