The Academy-Community Partnership for Social Change: Supporting the Development of Community-Engaged Courses

Supports faculty members in developing academic courses that integrate theory with student commitment for action in advancing social change and human rights. In the academic year 2007/8, the Partnership is supporting 14 academic courses, at 12 universities and colleges. The majority of the courses combine Arab and Jewish student action in social change organizations and community programs concerned with the Arab society in Israel. Students volunteer in Arab NGO's and independent projects involving legal issues; education; women's rights; environmental justice; regional planning; employment and linguistic access.
