Islamophobia and Antisemitism are prominent and serious issues for many community members across Victoria.

As part of the Anti-Racism and Anti-Discrimination Action Plan, the Victorian Government is supporting key organisations to deliver community-led responses to Islamophobia and Antisemitism. This project is a collaborative initiative by the Jewish Community Council of Victoria (JCCV) & the Australian Intercultural Society (AIS) who have formed a united body aimed at addressing these issues. The project aims at empowering people to be active bystanders when confronted with Islamophobia or Antisemitism; trained to be confident and tooled-up to take a safe active stance when observing Antisemitism and Islamophobia.

The half day program will:
• Provide community-led responses to all forms of discrimination, including Islamophobia and Antisemitism
• Support people who have been subjected to experiences of discrimination in various settings
• Support and empower bystanders to become upstanders and respond productively to situations
• Raise awareness of issues and promote respectful behaviour and interfaith understanding

We currently have sessions arranged for the following dates:

Tuesday 28 June 2022 Immigration Museum
