Becoming a Campus Activist

​

1. Israel Activism on UK Campuses

Monday 25th April – 7pm

Universities in the UK are becoming a hotbed for antisemitic activity, which is often disguised as anti-Zionism and defended as a legitimate political stance. This session will provide the tools needed to tackle this challenge by first developing an understanding of the IHRA definition of antisemitism and how it can be employed on campus. We will then outline how to handle problematic organizations, as well as identify and build relationships with allies on campus. After this session one should feel more knowledgeable and prepared to be an Israel activist at university.
