Buenos Aires, Argentina, July 14, 2024 ... Today, ADL (the Anti-Defamation League) announced its inaugural Words to Action facilitator training seminar in Latin America, set to begin just days before the 30th anniversary of the AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires.
In response to a sharp global rise of antisemitism and antisemitic incidents since October 7th, Words to Action has become a highly sought-after educational program providing tools for Jewish youth to understand and effectively address antisemitism, anti-Israel bias, stereotypes, prejudice, and hate speech.
In collaboration with the Jewish Museum of Chile and hosted at the Holocaust Museum of Buenos Aires, this unique seminar focuses on training experienced local Jewish educators who will then empower Jewish youth, families, and communities in Latin America to confront these growing challenges effectively.
“Bringing ADL’s antisemitism education tools to Latin American communities for the first time will empower Jewish young adults and members of the community with the knowledge and confidence to address everyday antisemitism, which has drastically increased since Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel. We are excited to expand our program to the region together with our partners and the help of our dedicated facilitators who will be conducting this crucial work. We believe that the curriculum will help participants develop the tools to confront antisemitism in all its forms and build confidence to challenge antisemitic myths,” said Marina Rosenberg, ADL’s SVP for International Affairs.
Following the facilitator training seminar, the Words to Action program will be available for communities in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, with plans for future expansion throughout Latin America.
