Education for a Shared Society
Educational Program
The program utilizes informal peace education approaches, focusing on experiential education, Jewish-Arab encounters, dialogue, culture, arts, and joint activity. The program aims to reach students throughout the education lifecycle, starting in elementary school and continuing through high school. The need for educational intervention in Israel is rooted in the deep division between the Jewish majority and the Arab minority. Young people are the most vulnerable to powerful influences and subject to incitement. Givat Haviva's educational program aims to transform conflict trends among young people into a shared, democratic future for Israel.
Using the power of education, the project enables future peaceful co-existence by bringing Jewish and Arab kids and youth together to learn, grow and build empathy. In times of increased violence and social injustice in the Middle East, it is vital to empower the next generation.
