Antisemitism Education Vancouver Island

A 90 minute workshop for professionals and community organizations

Empower Your Community with Knowledge

Antisemitism is not a relic of the past: It continues to manifest in evolving and harmful ways across our society. That’s why the Jewish Federation of Victoria and Vancouver Island (JFVVI) is offering a free, high-impact antisemitism education workshop, made possible through funding from Heritage Canada and developed and delivered in partnership with Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies (FSWC).

This is your organization’s opportunity to take a meaningful step toward inclusivity, allyship and awareness.
