Welcoming Paideia – The European Institute for Jewish Studies to AEPJ
It is with great pleasure that we publicly welcome Paideia – The European Institute for Jewish Studies in Sweden as a new member of the AEPJ.
Based in Stockholm, Paideia is a flagship pan-European centre for Jewish learning that brings together students, scholars, educators, artists and cultural practitioners from across Europe.

The program is hosted in Sweden and runs from September 2025 to May 2026.
