UK Jewish Film is looking to recruit a part-time educator (1.5 days per week; freelance) to expand our current education programming by developing and delivering film-based education projects with a specific focus on schools and colleges in Glasgow, Liverpool, Leeds and Manchester.
ABOUT
Our starting point is that film is a uniquely accessible medium for young people, with the power to connect emotionally and to build empathy. Our educators and workshop leaders are unashamedly, outwardly facing Jewish and prioritise working in areas where antisemitism has been reported. All our programmes centre on films representing Jewish experiences – we educate about the complexity of Jewish identity through film and about film. These on-screen Jewish stories open conversations, presenting characters in (and perspectives on) a range of situations and contexts. We focus on developing critical viewers with skills to challenge stereotypes and deconstruct moving image texts. The aims of our programmes are:
* To combat racism and antisemitism;
* To create better awareness of British-Jewish heritage and culture.
