Voices of NOA: Reflections on Jewish Life and Inclusion in Europe

16/06/2026

While NOA has produced extensive research, policy tools and capacity-building materials over the past years, the video series responds to a more simple but essential need: to move beyond reports and frameworks and bring the project’s themes to life through human voices. As the project comes to a close, its most lasting impact is perhaps not a single output, but the network of people, ideas and partnerships that has grown through years of collaboration across Europe.

The videos open space for reflection rather than presentation. Each conversation begins from a shared prompt and unfolds through personal experience and perspective, touching on questions around Jewish life in Europe today, how antisemitism is perceived and experienced, and what it means to build more inclusive societies grounded in diversity, culture and democratic values. Rather than offering institutional statements, the series foregrounds lived experience and dialogue, allowing space for nuance, honesty and exchange.

The contributors reflect the breadth of the NOA network and its partner organisations, bringing together practitioners, researchers, civil society actors and policy stakeholders from across the consortium, including CEJI, AEPJ, EUJS and the WJC, as well as institutional partners such as the European Commission Coordinator on Combating Antisemitism and Fostering Jewish Life, the Fundamental Rights Agency, and Centro Sefarad-Israel. Their voices, coming from different contexts and roles, together form a layered picture of the themes at the heart of the project and of the collective effort required to address them.

Ultimately, the video series aims to make NOA’s work more accessible, relatable and engaging for wider audiences. It builds on the project’s foundations while shifting the focus towards storytelling and personal testimony, highlighting the diversity of experiences that shape Jewish life and inclusion in Europe today.
