The Interorthodox Centre of the Church of Greece participated in the 2nd
Civil Society Forum, which took place on 1 – 2 April 2025 in Brussels
and was organized by the European Union.
The Forum aimed to strengthen active cooperation between civil society
organizations, in order to create networks, to exchange ideas and
develop more specifically joint actions to combat Antisemitism, for
Holocaust remembrance and active participation in education.
Representatives of European and international organizations,
representatives of EU institutions, experts and academics participated
in the event, with the aim of bridging differences, promoting dialogue,
creating synergies and inspiring new joint initiatives for a Europe free
from Antisemitism and hate speech.
On behalf of the Interorthodox Centre of the Church of Greece, Mr.
Sergios Voilas participated in the Forum. He represented the
Interorthodox Centre in the proceedings of the conference, and had the
opportunity to meet with Ms. Katharina von Schnurbein, Coordinator of
the European Commission for Combating Antisemitism and Promoting Jewish
Life. During the meeting, the progress of the “InterMu-Se” European CERV
project was also discussed, as well as the implementation of the
