The academic lectures will be accompanied by relative touring and fieldstrips, offering further opportunities to obtain intimate knowledge on the Israeli society.
Our Negev tour will focus on the forms of
settlement in the Negev, including the kibbutzim, Mitzpe Ramon, cooperative
farming settlements for immigrants, development towns, and Bedouin towns and
villages. During the tour, participants will meet with local activists involved
in various endeavors in the fields of entrepreneurship, education, culture, and
economy, to learn about the history of the communities and their socio-cultural
fabrics.
We will also visit the city of Beer Sheva and will focus on social and
civic initiatives operating in the city and around the Ben-Gurion University of
the Negev. The tour will include visits to non-profit organizations active in
reducing social gaps, helping immigrants, and promoting coexistence and
community empowerment. At each site, the participants will meet with the
managers of the organization, volunteers, and community activists.
Additionally, the seminar offers one-day trip to Jerusalem to visit historic
sites and/or museums, so that the participants can integrate lecture contents from
our seminar into ground experiences.
