To honor Paideia’s 25 years, a celebratory ceremony with dignitaries and friends was held during the conference “Living with Difference: Jewish Paradigms”. Maria Nilsson, State Secretary at the Ministry for Education and Research, highlighted “the important work that Paideia is doing in regards to Jewish education, strengthening knowledge about the Jewish minority in Sweden as well as in Europe, but also contributing to increased knowledge within the Jewish minority and the commitment to transmit Jewish life to younger generations.”
