The national strategy to strengthen Jewish life and combat antisemitism is a 10-year commitment for the period 2025–2034 in which several parts of society need to be engaged.
The national strategy focuses on the following three areas considered central to strengthening Jewish life and combatting antisemitism:
- knowledge, education and research about Jewish life;
- Jewish culture and Swedish-Jewish cultural heritage;
- safety and openness – efforts to combat antisemitism.
Each focus area is accompanied by specific objectives.
The strategy builds on the report: Strengthened Jewish life for future generations – the national strategy to strengthen Jewish life in Sweden 2025–2034 (SOU 2024:3). It also builds on the Government’s action plan to combat racism and hate crime (A2024/01394).
Instructions to government agencies
When the strategy was adopted, the Swedish National Archives, Living History Forum, Swedish Police Authority and Swedish Defence Research Agency were tasked with contributing to its implementation.
