The EXODUS Project Workshop will take place in Thessaloniki from January 26 to 28, 2025, coinciding with events marking the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. This initiative aims to strengthen collaboration among stakeholders and contribute to the formulation of effective policies to combat antisemitic hate crimes. Discussions will be framed within the following sessions:

• Antisemitic behavior, symbolism, and indicators of antisemitic bias.
• The European dimension of antisemitism.
• Roles and operational needs of involved agencies.
• Educational needs for addressing hate crimes.

 

Participants and Activities:

The workshop will host representatives from the project’s main target groups, including law enforcement officers, judicial authorities, members of the Jewish community, and civil society organizations. In addition, distinguished European experts will participate in person in the project’s research activities, enriching the findings of field and desk research. Moreover, the workshop will feature input from sister projects, as well as focus groups and interviews, which will deepen the understanding of the challenges faced by stakeholders and support the collection of qualitative data.

Objectives and Outcomes:

The input of the experts, combined with findings from the focus groups and interviews, will inform the development of cognitive and operational tools designed to provide policy recommendations for combating antisemitic hate crimes, tailored to the needs of the EU.
