Israel Education

In today's complex and polarized world, the relational approach to Israel education is more vital than ever. This session introduces a paradigm shift that places relationships at the heart of the educational experience, focusing on the learner's connection with Israel and Israelis rather than Israel itself. By reframing the educator's role as a facilitator of relationships, this approach offers a powerful tool for creating impactful, nuanced Israel education experiences that resonate with learners, inspire ongoing engagement, and help navigate challenging conversations in today's context.
