Modules of the certificate programme
The certificate programme begins in winter semester 2025/26 with the compulsory online module „Grundlagen der Antisemitismuskritischen Bildung im Kontext Schule“ (6 CP/CP).
Building on this, two courses can then be freely selected from a pool of courses at participating universities and non-school institutions in the further module „Profilbildung in der Antisemitismuskritischen Bildung” (6 CP/CP). There is also the module „Praxisfelder in der Antisemitismuskritischen Bildung” (3 CP/CP), in which an independent project on the topic of anti-Semitism-critical education can be developed or an internship in an institution or with an educational organisation in the field of anti-Semitism prevention/intervention can be completed.
Module structure of ZABIN
Online compulsory module „Grundlagen der Antisemitismuskritischen Bildung im Kontext Schule"
This module provides fundamental knowledge about antisemitism and education that challenges antisemitism.
The online lecture (asynchronous, online), comprising 14 sessions, includes, amongst other things, an introduction to definitions and manifestations, differences in perception and defence strategies, as well as the pedagogical approach to addressing anti-Semitism, insights into contemporary Jewish life in Germany, an introduction to its portrayal in (school) media, and insights into existing projects and institutions.
The accompanying seminar ( synchronous, online), comprising 14 sessions, explores the lecture content in greater depth and examines it in the context of schools.
Module „Profilbildung in der Antisemitismuskritischen Bildung”
In the module, two (teaching) courses can be freely selected from a pool of courses offered by participating universities and non-university institutions. The (teaching) events cover at least two sub-competences of a competence area. The thematic focus is freely selectable and can be set individually depending on the range of courses on offer.
Module „Praxisfelder der Antisemitismuskritischen Bildung”
Brief profile
The module involves either developing an independent project on the topic of education to combat antisemitism, or undertaking a 60-hour work placement at an institution, organisation or educational provider specialising in the prevention of or intervention against antisemitism. These hours can be arranged flexibly in consultation with the placement provider. Students are free to choose both the focus of the project and the institution ( e.g. remembrance culture, non-school educational providers, etc.). It is important that at least two sub-competencies from the areas of competence are covered within the module and that the project or work placement addresses a specific issue relating to critical engagement with antisemitism.
The topic of the project or the placement location must be agreed in advance with the Coordination Office in Oldenburg
