Abstract
Various OSCE commitments have encouraged education on anti-Semitism that ensures a
systematic approach to education, including curricula related to contemporary forms of anti-
Semitism in participating States. In the 2004 Berlin Declaration the OSCE participating States
committed to promote, as appropriate, educational programmes for combating anti-Semitism. In
2014 the Ministerial Council, in their Basel Declaration, went further by calling on participating
States to promote educational programmes for combating anti-Semitism and provide young
people with opportunities for human rights education including on the subject of anti-Semitism,
and on ODIHR to facilitate the exchange of best practices among participating States on
educational initiatives and other measures to raise awareness of anti-Semitism and overcome
challenges to Holocaust education. Since 2016 ODIHR has been implementing the “Turning
words into action to address anti-Semitism” project, which provides support to participating
states to implement these OSCE commitments.
The project includes activities to promote education to address anti-Semitism that ensure a
systematic and human rights based approach, and will produce various policy and practical tools
to enable this. In 2017 research across the OSCE region will result in a report that identifies key
challenges to teaching about anti-Semitism in the OSCE region, and recommended educational
responses to the variety of challenges that may arise in different locations or contexts across the
OSCE region. ODIHR and UNESCO are also working with partners to develop differentiated
framework curricula and accompanying guidance materials for pre-service training of teachers
at primary, secondary, vocational and school director level in how to address intolerance, bias,
prejudice, and particularly anti-Semitism, in and through education, which together demonstrate
a comprehensive approach. These publications will complement ODIHR’s existing materials to
2
promote tolerance, respect and mutual understanding and recognition of the human rights of
individuals in all communities.
