Antisemitism Awareness Training (online)

Event Overview

The training is open to staff, students and UCSU colleagues to attend on Holocaust Memorial Day. It will be delivered online (link will be distributed approximately one week before the session), by a representative from the Union of Jewish Students (Antisemitism Awareness Training - UJS), with the session capped at 15 attendees. 

It is an interactive session that focuses on:

• The British Jewish community
• Historical antisemitism
• Contemporary antisemitism
• Antisemitism and Israel
• Examples and statistics behind antisemitism on campus
• Your Jewish society

• What next? Practical and concrete steps you can do to help
