The TALI School Network has, together with the MENA Network of 44 Christian-Arab schools in Israel, created a program called Dialogue and Identity in which Jewish and Arab teachers are trained to implement a curriculum titled "Three religions in the Holy Land" in their classrooms. They facilitate a series of encounters in pairs (Jewish and Arab), during which their pupils meet at each other's schools and present their religions and cultures to the other.
Dialogue and Identity was implemented successfully in 8 schools (4 TALI and 4 MENA) in Northern Israel during the 2007-8 school year, and will be implemented again in those schools in 2008-9. The program received a positive independent assessment, and was endorsed by the Ministry of Education's Northern and Haifa Districts. The model is unique in that:
It fosters direct relationships between school staffs and trains the teachers to facilitate the programming, transforming it into a sustainable part of the school curriculum.
It teaches children about their own religious identity while nurturing tolerance and openness towards the other.
The model is replicable for dozens, perhaps even hundreds of schools.
