🎉 Get ready for a magical week of learning, connection, and celebration!From 18–23 December 2025, join us in Masuria, Poland for the Keshet Europe Activist Academy — an unforgettable retreat in a stunning villa, surrounded by nature, firelight, and fierce queer Jewish energy 🔥🌈✨
You’ll dive into workshops, simulations, and deep conversations with fellow activists from across Europe — and yes, we’ll be celebrating Hanukkah together with candles, sufganiyot, and cozy vibes 🕎🍩💫
✨ At the heart of the Academy is a one-of-a-kind roleplay simulation inspired by Model United Nations — but with a twist: you’ll represent Jewish and LGBTQIA+ organizations navigating real tensions, building coalitions, and finding shared positions on key issues.
This isn’t just an event — it’s a full-on experience. Let’s learn, grow, and light the Hanukkah candles — together!
Objectives of the event:
• Train Jewish LGBTQIA+ leaders.
• Identify and map key community actors.
• Strengthen the sense of community and network-building.
• Develop Keshet Europe’s political vision and positioning.
We recognise that participating in this event can be costly, so if there’s any need for financial assistance to help cover some of the expenses, please don’t hesitate to reach out to [email protected]
