Networking and Cooperation
Effective protection for those affected and the sustainable prevention of antisemitism require close networking and collaboration with various societal actors. UdK Berlin relies on strategic partnerships and cooperation to jointly combat antisemitism and establish long-term preventive measures.
Cooperation with Civil Society Organizations
UdK Berlin works closely with various organizations dedicated to antisemitism prevention and supporting those affected. These include organizations and counseling centers such as OFEK e.V. and the Competence Center for Antisemitism-Critical Education and Research, which contribute expertise and practical knowledge to our efforts. We also collaborate with anti-discrimination offices, such as the Berlin State Commissioner for Antisemitism, who support us in developing and implementing targeted measures. In this context, we also work with the Mideast Freedom Forum Berlin and the Foundation "Remembrance, Responsibility, and Future." Through these partnerships, we benefit from a broad network and can collectively achieve a greater impact.
Collaboration with Educational Institutions
In addition to our internal programs, we will collaborate with other universities and educational institutions to promote the exchange of best practices and develop innovative approaches. This collaboration allows us to incorporate new perspectives and ideas into our projects, working together towards a society that is more free from antisemitism and discrimination.
Support from Local Authorities
Collaboration with local authorities, such as the State Anti-Discrimination Act Ombuds Office and the Commissioner for Antisemitism in the State of Berlin, plays a key role in the development and implementation of protective measures at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK Berlin). These partnerships help us leverage legal frameworks and better integrate prevention strategies.
Research Networks and Academic Exchange
Our future collaborations with national and international research institutes will enable us to integrate scientific knowledge on antisemitism. The exchange of research findings contributes to a better understanding of both historical and contemporary forms of antisemitism and allows for more targeted responses. Here you will find, among other things, current studies.
