CCOA Deep Dive and Training Programme

The CCOA Training Programme is designed to strengthen a coordinated European response to online antisemitism by equipping CCOA members, multipliers, micro-grantee recipients, and external experts with the skills, knowledge, and networks to take effective action. By integrating policy insights, research, and prevention initiatives, the programme not only builds individual expertise but also strengthens collective capacity to understand, prevent, and respond to the evolving landscape of online antisemitism across Europe.

Crucially, the programme is anchored in a longer-term vision: to connect actors across sectors, address siloed and fragmented approaches, and foster sustained collaboration across European prevention efforts. By linking diverse stakeholders and areas of expertise, it enables the development of innovative, coordinated responses to hate—particularly antisemitism—while reinforcing the networks, shared frameworks, and joint action needed to achieve lasting impact at the European level.

What You Can Expect

  • Expert-Led Deep Dives and Workshops: Gain valuable insights from leading practitioners, policymakers, and researchers through sessions centred on countering antisemitism and building resilience.
  • Engagement with the Broader CCOA Network: Unlock opportunities for collaboration and joint projects across the wider CCOA community.
