A few words about Merchavim |
MERCHAVIM, the Institute for the Advancement of Shared Citizenship in
Israel, works to equip young Israelis of all backgrounds to build a
shared future by learning about their fellow citizens, appreciating the
diversity of Israeli society and working together to make their
classrooms, schools and communities, fairer – for the benefit of all.
Uniquely,
our approach has been developed by and for Israelis of all backgrounds,
in full cooperation with Israel’s Ministry of Education and prestigious
funding partners. A growing range of programs provides creative,
age-appropriate activities from kindergarten to 12th grade, based on Merchavim's Shared Citizenship Model and built around five core concepts: identity, access, fairness, limits of agreement and active shared citizenship.
