Programme case study: Coalition to Counter Online Antisemitism (CCOA)

The Coalition to Counter Online Antisemitism (CCOA), funded by Google.org and the TIDES Foundation through 2026, is a multi-stakeholder initiative designed to address the rise of online antisemitism in Europe. The project aims to bridge gaps between research, education, and policy by coordinating efforts across ten countries, including Germany, France, and the UK. The CCOA operates through three dedicated working groups focused on research, education, and policy to scale primary prevention and counter-speech efforts.

• Online antisemitism has seen significant growth in specific European countries, with a seven-fold increase in French antisemitic content on Twitter, Facebook, and Telegram between 2020 and 2021, and a more than 13-fold increase in German content.
• The existing research landscape for online antisemitism is fragmented, lacking a method to measure the reach of the threat and suffering from uncoordinated efforts across sectors and geographies, which has led to duplicated work and lost best practices.
• The CCOA has expanded from an initial pilot focusing on Germany, France, Italy, Poland, and Sweden to include Spain, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Austria, and Denmark, totaling ten participating countries.
• The initiative is structured around three working groups: a Research group focusing on platform system risks and international analysis; an Education group developing a training toolkit and a network of multipliers; and a Policy group focused on evidence-based solutions and the hybridised threat landscape.
• Planned activities through 2026 include regional workshops in Austria, Belgium, Spain, the UK, and Denmark, five policy roundtables to inform a Policy Roadmap, and an acceleration lab providing microgrants to five grassroots organisations.
