This workshop was comprised of 15 on-campus meetings of 10 Jewish and 10 Arab students who received scholarships from the Landa Fund for this purpose. The workshop was conducted by two professional instructors. The participating students learned to move from alienation to openness and acknowledgement of each other. This was achieved by the students getting to know each other's culture, including identity and religion; learning to cope with conflict; developing interpersonal intra-group and inter-group dialogue; communication skills; promoting collaboration between Arab and Jewish students on campus in developing programs that promote these issues, from a comprehensive view. This view integrates academic research and the creation of suitable study courses with the development of an array of social activities for the Jewish and Arab students, aimed at creating social leadership among Jews and Arabs that will lead to new horizons in Arab-Jewish relations.

Promoting dialogue of teachers and pupils in a multicultural community
This joint project of the JAC and the Faculty of Education, sponsored by the generosity of the Zeit Foundation, was conducted over a 5-year period, ending this year. Its goal was to bring together a group of teachers and pupils representing the multicultural diversity of Israeli society, and to engage them in relevant workshop activities and in fostering ongoing dialogue.
