10-12 November 2024 in Berlin
WerteInitiative – jüdisch-deutsche Positionen e. V. is holding a leadership seminar in the federal capital for people already politically engaged as well as journalistswho have a lasting interest in democracy education and would like to place a focus on Jewish life and Jewish topics in doing so. The multi-day programme leads into the heart of political Berlin. In the course of personal meetings and discussions in the Bundestag, at the German federal government and Jewish organisations as well as actors of social relevance the participants gain a direct insight into the broad spectrum of topics surrounding Jewish life. The aim is to strengthen the participants in their own political engagement or in their journalistic background knowledge and work through informative discussion formats and mutual dialogue, and to foster a deeper understanding of Jewish-German cross-cutting topics and structures .
Application deadline: 13.10.2024
Why take part?
Get to know the political and social structures surrounding Jewish life in Germany. Look at the wider context, because what concerns Jewish citizens are not exclusively minority issues. From our experience in dealing with anti-democratic forces we know how the rejection of our free democratic basic order – the basis of our peaceful coexistence – usually also expresses itself in hostility towards Jews. Jewish-German topics are therefore a cornerstone of a free and democratic society. The participants in the leadership seminar receive first-hand input and will realise: it is only a short step to the fundamental questions that are essential for society and democracy as a whole. Various discussion rounds will offer the opportunity to build a network for exchange and information among the participants themselves, with us and with other interlocutors. Engaging with the shared experiences in the spirit of a lived democratic pluralism is a guiding theme here.
Who?
The political leadership seminar is aimed specifically at two target groups:
1. People living in Germany who are already politically engaged and over 18 years of age. In this way we would like to give interested people outside the Jewish milieu the opportunity to become aware of the relevance of Jewish topics and, in a varied and intensive programme, to offer them personal opportunities to encounter the current political engagement by and for Jews. People who are still at the beginning of their political career are also expressly welcome. They should, however, at least have been elected to a function/office/task within political structures and have gathered some initial relevant experience in politics.
2. In addition we also invite people from the field of journalism with a completed traineeship (Volontariat) and initial published work to take part.
How?
Send us your CV and a compelling letter of motivation (max. 2 pages) as well as relevant evidence of your political or journalistic activity to: kontakt@werteinitiative.de
In your letter please also set out your connection to the content above (under „Who?“). As the number of participants is limited, we ask you to register promptly. The closing date for the application is 13.10.2024. We are happy to answer any questions at any time via the email address given above. Both the confirmation of participation and the rejections will be sent out by 04.11.2024. We look forward to your application!
What?
A varied and demanding 3-day programme is planned. Through a mixture of discussion rounds with important organisations, visits to Bundestag parliamentary groups and panel discussions, an exciting, substantively enriching and interactive experience is offered. Your physical well-being is catered for with a varied range of food. There will also be sufficient time for exchange and networking with one another. Overnight stays take place in a centrally located hotel. The costs of travel, overnight stays, meals, transport to the venues as well as the events themselves are covered by the organiser. Reimbursement limits in accordance with the Bundesreisekostengesetz (German Federal Travel Expenses Act) apply.
