The Sydney Jewish Museum (SJM) and Courage to Care NSW (C2C) have announced a historic agreement of co-operation and collaboration.

The Sydney Jewish Museum is a living museum where Jewish cultural life and heritage are illuminated and preserved, and where schools and the general public learn about the consequences of hatred and the moral imperative of Holocaust remembrance.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Courage to Care NSW conducts school-based incursion programs and public exhibitions which counter discrimination, racism and antisemitism by inspiring young people to be Upstanders.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

With antisemitic incidents escalating across NSW and supporting social cohesion more important than ever, the Sydney Jewish Museum and Courage to Care NSW each play a vital role in strengthening educational responses against hate and prejudice.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p><\/div>

The two organisations have agreed that the SJM will focus on schools in the Sydney metropolitan area while C2C will focus exclusively on delivering its messages to areas outside Sydney. This will include major population centres such as Canberra, Wollongong, Newcastle, Central Coast, the Southern Highlands, and many others throughout NSW.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The agreement stipulates regular communication and collaboration between the two organisations while maintaining the independence and autonomy of both. The Museum will offer C2C volunteers its extensive resources, expertise and professional training.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

SJM president Greg Shand AM said that formalising the best use of the SJM\u2019s and C2C\u2019s mutual and complementary expertise, resources and passion for education would \u201cenhance our shared missions \u2013 to educate the people of NSW about the dangers of discrimination, racism and antisemitism, to promote tolerance and moral courage.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p><\/div>

\u201cTens of thousands of students come to the Museum annually. As the museum completes its historic and ambitious current redevelopment, even more students will come through its doors to engage with its expanded facilities, programs and displays. We are singularly focussed on maximising the impact on these increased numbers of visitors.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Courage to Care NSW has always had a strong regional focus. Chairman Tom Curtis said: \u201cOver the past 26 years, our volunteers have conducted incursion Upstander programs and exhibitions in virtually every major town in NSW, from Murwillumbah in the north to Albury in the south.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cAlmost 80% of the schools we visit each year are outside Sydney and this agreement brings with it the opportunity to sharpen this focus even further. In effect, Courage to Care will become the leading provider of anti-discrimination programs to regional NSW.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cThe current climate of antisemitism in Australia demands a new approach,\u201d continued Mr Curtis. \u201cEvery organisation seeking to educate and inspire young people to reject discrimination needs to be working closely together to ensure that our efforts are aligned and complementary. This new agreement with SJM signals the arrival of a new era, based on trust and collaboration. We\u2019re excited for what the future will bring in enhancing our reach and impact.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The two organisations will continue to work on a number of exciting initiatives, with more details to be announced in the coming months.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
