The Joint German-Israeli Textbook Commission

Deutsch-Israelische Schulbuchkommission (DISBK)

The principle aim of the DISBK is to bring Germany and Israel closer together, particularly through their young people, which meant it was important to ensure balanced and realistic depictions of each other’s country and society in educational media and in the classroom. The academic analysis of textbooks is an important tool to achieve this aim, resulting in recommendations, teaching materials and training for teachers and textbook editors. Findings are also communicated to experts in the field and the general public through workshops and conferences.
