My webinar goes live!
Join us and try it out: Youth and Education
Webinar on February 11, 2026 for trainers
Learning time for democracy and against anti-Semitism
Anti-Semitic statements and attitudes can occur anywhere, including in everyday vocational training—whether in the classroom, in social settings, or in digital learning spaces. It is often a challenge for trainers in particular to respond appropriately and effectively to such content.
This is where the webinar comes in. In three thematic sections, you will learn about anti-Semitism, how to recognize it, and how to confidently counter anti-Semitic content. The webinar serves to test the materials generated and will be further developed with the help of feedback.
Register free of charge.

New offer in 2026!
Mentoring in History and Historical Thinking
I offer individual mentoring for people who wish to engage more deeply with history or further develop their historical thinking and writing. In a personal and flexible setting, I support you in contextualising historical topics, sharpening your own questions, and gaining confidence in engaging with the past and the present. Perhaps you have been interested in historical questions for a long time, would like to develop your
own project, or need support with a text or manuscript? Perhaps you are looking for a space in which to think about history beyond formal educational pathways?
I offer such a space through conversation, reading, and shared reflection.
The mentoring is intentionally informal and individually tailored. It can take place one to one or in a small, private group and is adapted to your interests, prior knowledge, and personal goals.
