The European Project 'Changing the Chants' is looking for eight external researchers to develop guidelines to tackle anti-Semitic chanting in football stadiums. The European Project ‘Changing the Chants’ is a co-operation between the Anne Frank House, Borussia Dortmund, Fare Network and Feyenoord Rotterdam. The project aims to find educational methods to counter anti-Semitic chants during football matches in Europe. The project began in June 2019 and is funded by the European Commission. It will run for 24 months until June 2021. The Changing the Chants team requires eight external contributors to observe pilot methods, review them and develop guidelines. The developers will observe, research, review and jointly extract successful methods and write high quality guidelines. These guidelines will sit at the heart of the project. Different pilot projects will be organised to find methods that have a visible effect, countering anti- Semitic chants. These methods will be researched, analysed and described in the guidelines. Additionally, the developers will take part in three ‘Contributors Practices Analysis and Guideline Development Workshops’, spread over the course of the project, for the development of the guidelines together with representatives of the different project partners. The developers will also take part in a final conference of the project on implementation of the guidelines. During this process the external developers will use their expertise, experience, networks, different perspectives and professional insights. The special knowledge and perspective they bring to the guidelines ensures the wider relevance and European sustainability of the project.
