Description
THIS IS AN INVITATION TO SUBMIT APPLICATIONS IN A COMPETITIVE GRANT PROCESS
The Department for Education is pleased to announce the launch of a new grant funding opportunity under the Tackling Antisemitism in Education Innovation Fund.
The tragic terrorist attack on the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on 2nd October was a stark reminder of the challenges faced by Jewish communities. Hate crime, discrimination, and racism have no place in Britain and the Department is taking proactive steps to address antisemitism across educational settings.
The Innovation Fund, valued at £1 million, will support both small-scale initiatives and larger strategic projects. Funded projects will equip learners with the skills and confidence to identify and challenge antisemitism.
