In a momentous stride forward, the European Days of Jewish Culture 2023 has been granted the prestigious UNESCO patronage for its upcoming festival. This remarkable acknowledgment not only underscores the significance of preserving cultural diversity and historical memory but also pays tribute to the dedicated EDJC organizers and coordinators who have tirelessly nurtured the festival’s growth.
The UNESCO patronage holds profound implications, signifying the profound resonance between the festival’s objectives and UNESCO’s mission to safeguard cultural heritage and foster cross-cultural dialogue. This milestone achievement can be traced back to the EDJC Organizers & Coordinators Meeting, a pivotal event held earlier this year in Paris. During this gathering, participants were privileged to visit UNESCO’s headquarters, engaging in purposeful sessions designed to deepen their understanding of the organization’s endeavors and their connection to the European Days of Jewish Culture.
AEPJ President François Moyse was interviewed by French web magazine Tribune Juive in the context of the upcoming annual European Days of Jewish Culture festival, which will kick off on September 3 throughout the European continent.
Sunday September 3 marks the start of the 2023 edition of the European Days of Jewish Culture.
François Moyse, President of AEPJ, the European Association for the Preservation and Promotion of Jewish Culture and Heritage, explains to Haïm Musicant the reasons for the success of this event, now organized in 29 countries.

Luca Baraldi, renowned expert in memory studies, will be leading a session entitled “From social storytelling to social sensemaking: digitized memory and collective imagery.” The session will take place on May 9th at 4 pm CET and will be held online.

The European Days of Jewish Culture is proud to announce the winner of the second poster contest, Nikola Radic Lucati, Founder of the Center for Holocaust Research and Education in Belgrade, Serbia. The winning poster design features the Hebrew language as a clear and understandable symbol, avoiding the overt use of Jewish symbols such as the Magen David, menorah, and talit. The design includes the current Jewish calendar year, emphasizing the theme of Memory, and the use of color and rust brushstrokes are balanced, yet suggestive enough to support both cultural and memorial events.
Using a single poster for all EDJC events helps to create a homogeneous festival and facilitate communication between organizers and participants.
PARIS, FRANCE – The EDJC Organisers and Coordinators Meeting 2023 took place from February 22 to February 23, with the majority of its sessions and workshops occurring at the Memorial de la Shoah, and a final session and closing ceremony concluding the meeting at UNESCO headquarters in Paris. The bi-annual meeting for organisers and coordinators of European Days of Jewish Culture activities occurs in an extraordinary context and under the umbrella of an exceptional programme: the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme of the European Union.
