The agreement aims to equip secondary schools across the Province of Córdoba with innovative digital tools to help prevent antisemitism and hate speech, promoting safer and more respectful school environments.
CÓRDOBA, Argentina, February 25, 2026 — In a firm step toward building more inclusive and respectful school environments, ADL (Anti-Defamation League) today announced in Córdoba, Argentina, a partnership with the Ministry of Education of the Province of Córdoba and the Delegation of Argentine Israelite Associations (DAIA), Córdoba Chapter, to implement COAJ: Combating Hate and Antisemitism Together in secondary schools across the province.
COAJ is a digital program that provides practical tools in Spanish to help students and educators recognize, understand, and address antisemitism and hate speech in school settings.
In the face of the global challenge posed by intolerance and discrimination, this joint initiative makes a cutting-edge digital platform available to Córdoba’s educational community. Designed specifically for the Latin American context—with technical collaboration from the Jewish Museum of Chile—COAJ offers an interactive learning experience that encourages young people to think critically about prejudice.
Technology in the service of coexistence
The Spanish-language program is structured around four dynamic modules that enable students and educators to explore identity, deconstruct stereotypes, and understand the historical and contemporary roots of antisemitism. Beyond theory, COAJ is action-oriented: it seeks to empower students as agents of change who can help defuse hate in their own environments.
Córdoba’s Minister of Education, Horacio Ferreyra, said: “School is where we learn to live alongside others and to recognize the value of diversity. With this program, we strengthen our students’ civic education by promoting respect, critical thinking, and a commitment to a society free of prejudice and violence.”
A comprehensive educational response
Adrián Ganzburg, president of DAIA Córdoba Chapter, underscored “the importance of continuing to advance inclusive education policies in Córdoba and the fight against antisemitism and discrimination. This is especially significant because it brings together DAIA, the provincial government, and an internationally respected organization like ADL, which chose this province as the first place to launch the program within a state framework.”
Liat Altman, ADL’s Regional Director for Latin American Affairs, emphasized the value of early prevention: “Education is the most effective way to prevent hate. We are proud to partner with Córdoba to implement this resource, which not only helps identify the problem but also equips teachers and students with practical strategies to respond to injustice and serve as allies to those who are targeted.”
Next steps
Following this agreement, a teacher training phase will begin to support integration of the platform in classrooms. The resource will be available free of charge to all secondary schools across the province that wish to join this network for prevention and values-based education.
