John xxxxxx,
Are young people in your life prepared to address incidents of antisemitism in and out of school?
At ADL, we prepare Jewish youth to respond effectively to antisemitism whenever and wherever they encounter it and to become leaders in their communities through Words to Action, an interactive program.
Words to Action is a facilitated workshop that allows Jewish teens and young adults to reflect on their Jewish identity and their experiences with antisemitism, as well as learn steps that they can take to combat antisemitism when and where they see it. Through these sessions, students engage in a range of activities and facilitated conversations.
Starting next month, ADL's Southern Division will be hosting virtual Words to Action sessions for students, and a virtual session for parents and caregivers.
We invite you to join us in empowering Jewish high school students to become leaders in addressing antisemitism.
For parents and caregivers, please join us on zoom February 25th, 7-8pm. This session will focus on Jewish student safety and inclusion in the K-12 setting. They will be provided guidance on how to advocate for supportive education environments for their children and appropriate school response to incidents of antisemitism. You can register here: Adult registration.
For high school students, please join us either February 27th or April 3rd at 6:30-8:00pm for a virtual session. To reserve a spot for a teen in high school, as well as select one of the upcoming dates, please use this registration link: student registration. Themes will include addressing and responding to antisemitism online, antisemitic jokes, and more.
By joining these sessions, participants will:
-
Gain tools for recognizing and challenging antisemitism.
-
Develop the skills and motivation to become leaders in their school and community.
-
Explore the diversity of Jewish identity and experience.
-
Champion a more equitable and just society through education, advocacy and allyship.
We look forward to seeing you at these sessions! Please feel free to share with your school community, and do not hesitate to reach out to: Southern Division EDU Email with any questions, comments, or concerns.
Thank you,
Southern Division Education team |
