Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) is the EU's funding programme for citizens' engagement and the implementation of EU rights and values.
This call aims at supporting civil society organisations to prevent and combat all forms and manifestations of antisemitism.
European Jews have been contributing to the social, political, economic and cultural development of Europe and are an inextricable part of Europe’s identity. Following the7 October terrorist attacks by Hamas on Israeli society and the war that ensued, antisemitism has risen across Europe and around the world. This escalation has created a climate of everyday “ambient antisemitism”, characterised by growing insecurity,isolation and the erosion of trust within Jewish communities. Today, we are witnessing a troubling rise in Holocaust distortion and the worrying conflation of the Shoah with ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. This distortion has a corrosive impact on the resilience of our society and democracy. Antisemitism and polarization pose a threat not only to the Jewish communities but also to the broader European society and undermine democratic values.
This priority aims at supporting civil society organisations to prevent and combat all forms and manifestations of antisemitism, offline and online, in line with the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance non-legally binding working definition of antisemitism, and at supporting civil society organisations to foster Jewish life.
See more details in the call document.
This call is looking for projects that focus on:
- raising awareness on contemporary antisemitism and its impact on society in general, and on specific target groups such as multipliers (educators, journalists, policy makers) and raising awareness about Jewish life to counter antisemitism
- improving the monitoring of antisemitic incidents, encouraging reporting and strengthening cooperation with the police at local level
- strengthening leadership capacities within Jewish communities to counter antisemitism, especially by developing professional networks, thus contributing to fostering Jewish life
- building bridges between Jewish and other minority groups in the common fight against intolerance and discrimination.
