Brochure on anti-Semitism in schools

The OeAD programme ERINNERN:AT, together with the Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance (DÖW) and the Salzburg University of Education, has developed a guide to dealing with anti-Semitism in everyday school life.

Brochure on anti-Semitism in schools

Anti-Semitism has no place in schools, which is why we support our teachers with quality-assured materials. The guide now being presented strengthens teachers' knowledge and skills. It is another milestone in the National Strategy against Anti-Semitism 2.0. The guide is available to all teachers and will also be used in training and continuing education from now on.
