In line with government mandates for shared society training for educators and with the recommendations drawn up in Givat Haviva’s Roadmap for a Shared Society Program, Givat Haviva delivers shared society training to Jewish and Arab teachers, sparking a connective and transformative process for the teachers themselves, while giving them skills to guide their students through fraught topics of identity and encounters across ethnic lines.
Currently, the impact of Covid has led to the program being held both virtually and in person, with the in-person programming connecting teams from two nearby schools, while the virtual programming brings equal numbers of Jewish and Arab teachers together from around the region.
