The European Association for the Preservation and Promotion of Jewish Culture and Heritage (AEPJ), in partnership with the World Jewish Congress (WJC) and the European Union of Jewish Students (EUJS), will launch the Thrive Project’s International Jewish Heritage Hub via an online webinar on 4 February 2026.
The event will feature keynote speaker Carsten Wilke, a professor at Central European University and director of the university’s Centre for Religious Studies, who will explore how Jewish heritage crosses cultural borders and how people engage with their Jewish identities through emotional and physical connection. In line with the EU strategy on combating antisemitism and fostering Jewish life, the Hub will offer a virtual space for Jewish individuals to contribute personal stories and traditions that safeguard and exhibit what Jewish heritage looks like from different communities across Europe.
The Thrive project is supported by the European Union’s Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) program.
