Each week, there is a joint learning day for the whole group, which includes professional training, mutual acquaintance with each other’s cultures, and dialogue regarding identities under joint Jewish-Arab facilitation. The dialogue meetings take place with individual identity-group meetings as well as joint, dual identity group meetings. The program includes the acquisition of formal and informal education tools, Arabic studies for Jews, Hebrew studies for Arabs, preparation for academic life for the Arab group, and acquaintance with local community life for the Jewish group.
The meeting between two different ends of the population evokes a dialogue and breaks down walls between the participants of the program. At the end of the year, the participants in the project serve as ambassadors in their communities, stimulating discourse and action among their peers, and promoting AJEEC’s vision of a shared society.
