Established in 1990, CEJI is a Brussels-based

education and anti-discrimination advocacy.

As our goal is to ensure that the fundamental

human rights of all people are respected, we

focus on reducing inter-communal tensions

and strengthening social harmony.

Our work a�rms the uniqueness of each

person’s identity, supporting the UN

Declaration on Human Rights to protect

individuals so that they can reach their

fullest potential. With a diverse sta� and

wide range of partners working across a

variety of discrimination and social

issues, CEJI brings a Jewish interface for

intercultural relations and solidarity

actions.

DIALOGUE

The challenges and opportunities of

Jewish Muslim dialogue have been faced

head-on with the establishment of the

European Platform for Jewish Muslim

Cooperation. The latest activity of the

Platform was the December 2009 seminar

for youth leaders on Antisemitism,

Islamophobia and the Media.

EDUCATION

More than 25.000 pupils and 6.000

teachers have been reached via the 120

teacher trainers that have been trained

by CEJI. Peer education has been put on

the European map via the European Peer

Training Organisation, an initiative set up

by CEJI which has trained 700 peer

trainers active in their local youth

movements.

ADVOCACY

Collaboration is key to CEJI. It is an active

member of numerous coalitions,

including the Platform for Intercultural

Europe and the European Network

Against Racism. In the past, CEJI

dedicated resources to joint actions such

as the shaping of Article 13 of the

Amsterdam Treaty which guarantees the

right to non-discrimination. Recent

advocacy actions of CEJI include: a Policy

Response to the proposed EU Equality

Directive, and a campaign for MEP

signatures on the 2009 London

Declaration to Combat Antisemitism.

We need both light and heat to create the

world we aim to see.

The hand-in-hand approach of education

and advocacy as a key strategy in CEJI’s

mission should not be underestimated.

Education tends to illuminate minds and

inspire action. Advocacy supports legislation

and policies that create the pressure of

accountability and regulations.
