(Jewish News) Three schools have postponed educational programmes combating antisemitism and prejudice with the Anne Frank Trust UK owing to “local community tensions” since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
The organisation, founded in 1991, empowers nine- to 15-year-olds to challenge all forms of prejudice through the diary of Anne Frank. Its schools programme offers educational outreach in primaries and secondaries across the country.
Students can apply to become Anne Frank “ambassador” peer educators within their schools and community on completion of the empowering sessions.
The Anne Frank Trust UK would not provide details of the schools in question, but confirmed to Jewish News that they were a mixture of primary and secondary institutions.
