In collaboration with RootOne, Makom has created a series of six conversation guides for teens on current events in Israel, including cultural trends, religious issues, politics, and more. The guides help teens develop important skills such as critical thinking, information literacy, and discussion while creating more space for complex conversations. They’re fun, educational, and engaging as well as being deeply relevant for our times:
