In academic and public debates, anti-Semitism and racism are repeatedly linked, equated or juxtaposed. At the same time, there is a growing interest in approaches that take a differentiated look at the differences and points of contact between the two phenomena without creating simplifications or competing logics.

The newly developed exercise "On the relationship between racism and anti-Semitism" is a material-based format that enables political education specialists to explore theoretical perspectives on the relationship between the two phenomena together with participants. The exercise works with paraphrases and quotations from the critique of anti-Semitism and racism and invites participants to discuss various theses in a structured manner.

In the event, we would like to introduce the exercise and at the same time discuss further questions:

• How can approaches critical of anti-Semitism and racism be productively related to each other?

• Which theoretical clarifications are helpful for political education?

• What are the opportunities and limitations of materials used at this interface?

Our panel

• Dr. Sina Arnold, Visiting Professor "Interdisciplinary Critique of Anti-Semitism and Racism" at the University of Bielefeld

• Anna Sabel, Federal Managing Director of the Association of Binational Families and Partnerships and political educator

• Shai Hoffmann, educational consultant and project developer in the field of anti-Semitism, racism and dialog formats

Moderation

• Neta-Paulina Wagner, research associate in the National Discrimination and Racism Monitor (NaDiRa) at the DeZIM Institute and co-author of the study "Imported antisemitism?"

The event is aimed at specialists and multipliers in political education, employees from academia and civil society as well as interested parties with relevant prior knowledge.

There will be an opportunity for discussion afterwards. Further information and materials will be provided on site.

Barrier-free access to the DeZIM.hall is guaranteed.
