Jewish students and employees of the universities within the UA Ruhr alliance are invited to come together on November 27 to share their experiences at their universities, learn from one another, and help create a space for respectful dialogue.

The Diversity Support Center (DSC) of the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) invites Jewish students and employees of the UA Ruhr universities to an open exchange about their experiences. The aim is to create a space where everyone feels seen and understood. Participants are encouraged to engage in open and honest conversations, to listen, learn from each other, and acknowledge different perspectives. The exchange is intended as a place for dialogue, not confrontation — a setting for meaningful conversation that avoids harm or dominance.

  • Date: November 27, 2025, 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.
  • Venue: To be announced after successful registration
  • Registration: By email to dsc-beratunguni-duede

The event will be moderated by Dr. Monika Hübscher, researcher on antisemitism and contact person for the topics of antisemitism and the Middle East conflict at UDE, and Yariv Lapid, educator specializing in strategies for negotiating competing national narratives and advisor to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) on the development of a research center for Holocaust education. Lapid also directed the Center for Humanistic Education at the Ghetto Fighters’ House in Israel from 2013 to 2018, where he worked with young people on two of the most sensitive issues in Israeli society – the Holocaust and the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The event will be held in German and English.
