Coordinators and organizers of the European Days of Jewish Culture attended the second day of the EDJC Organisers & Coordinators Meeting 2023.
On the final day of the conference, attendees were treated to a variety of panels and workshops. The morning began with a panel on the memory of Jewish culture as part of the European patrimony, featuring Laurence Sigal, Leopold Braunstein, and Monika Adamczyk-Garbowska. The panel explored the role of Jewish museums, the immaterial patrimony, and the translation of the Yzkerbikher for the Polish public.
After a coffee break, attendees split off into two parallel workshops, one focused on innovative memory activities and the other on the activities of Zikaron Basalon. The day continued with a panel on Commemorating the Shoah, featuring Lisa Saloch, Aline Benain, and Laurence Schram.
We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of the first day of the EDJC Organisers & Coordinators Meeting 2023. The program has been incredibly well-received, and the enthusiasm of the participants has been contagious.
The day began with registration and a warm welcome on the part of AEPJ President, François Moyse, and Memorial de la Shoah representatives. The plenary coordination session on the Practical Information Kit and communication guidelines for the European Days of Jewish Culture was informative and engaging, thanks to the excellent work of the AEPJ team. AEPJ partners – MahJ, Liberation Route Europe, Jewish Heritage Europe, and the National Library of Israel – provided valuable insights into the project. The visit to the Memorial de la Shoah in three groups was an opportunity to learn more about one of the essential institutions in Europe.

The European Days of Jewish Culture (EDJC) is a continent-wide festival that takes place annually in cities across Europe. The festival aims to promote Jewish culture and heritage, and to create a platform for dialogue and understanding between Jewish and non-Jewish communities.
The festival is organized by local coordinators and volunteers, who plan and execute a wide variety of cultural events, such as concerts, exhibitions, film screenings, and lectures. These events take place in museums, synagogues, cultural centers, and other venues, and are open to the public.
The EDJC Organisers and Coordinators Meeting 2023 is an annual event that brings together organizers and coordinators from across Europe to share ideas, best practices, and to plan for the upcoming festival. This year’s meeting will be held in Paris on February 22nd and 23rd, and will focus on the theme of “Memory“.
The AEPJ is organizing a competition within the framework of the European Days of Jewish Culture 2023 for the creation of its official poster, on the theme “Memory”. The competition is open to the Coordinators and Organizers of activities of the EDJC and they may distribute this call among their networks.
The purpose of the competition is to create the 2023 poster for the European Days of Jewish Culture, which will be published online on the association’s website, printed and distributed by the national coordinators on various media (brochures, posters, press releases, websites, etc.) all over Europe.
