NOA European Conference
11/05/2023
27-28 June 2023, Brussels
The NOA Project
The NOA-Networks Overcoming Antisemitism project, launched in 2019, is an effort to innovate and develop new public-civil society partnerships. Backed by European Union funding, a consortium of six European Jewish organisations came together to develop concrete initiatives to combat antisemitism, including training and teaching tools, socio-cultural activities, sports workshops, and the ground-breaking National Report Card methodology. The project takes a holistic approach that marries policy and practice, security and education, and transnational and national actions.
NOA European Conference
This European conference of the NOA Project brings together over 100 representatives from civil society organisations and public authorities to reflect on the results, lessons, measures and experiences in addressing, preventing and fighting antisemitism, informed by the tools developed in the NOA Project to date.
NOA means “in motion” in Hebrew, and this event aims to highlight the progress which has been made as well as give inspiration for further advancement towards the NOA vision of an inclusive and democratic Europe where Jewish communities thrive.
