Our mission

Learning from Anne Frank and the Holocaust, we empower young people aged 9 to 15 to challenge all forms of prejudice

Anne Frank is uniquely powerful as a catalyst for learning and reflection about prejudice. Her experiences as a young Jewish person during the Holocaust provide a powerful insight for young people to learn and reflect on the dangers of antisemitism and all forms of prejudice. Through our programmes, young people gain the knowledge, motivation and skills to make a real difference.  Hear some of their stories here.

We focus on 9- to 15-year-olds because they can relate to Anne, and because this age is crucial to the formation of values and beliefs.

Founded in 1991, we have significant expertise in anti-prejudice education. Our highly skilled, passionate Educational Delivery Specialists offer three strands of learning:

.

Online learning open to all, including free learning resources and live online events.

.

Our schools programme for whole-class groups in primary or secondary schools. In our workshops, we teach Anne Frank’s story in order to help young people understand antisemitism. We then broaden their learning to include understanding prejudice of all kinds today. Through our core programmes we use peer education to empower young people to share their learning across their school.

.

Anne Frank Ambassadors – Peer educators who want to go further as a voice against prejudice, can apply to join our Youth Empowerment Programme. Aimed especially at young people who speak from personal experience of prejudice, if accepted onto the programme, they become an Anne Frank Ambassador. One of our Anne Frank Workers becomes their anti-prejudice mentor until they reach 16 and support them on a journey of learning and empowerment in school and beyond.
