Diversity Network

During the events of our project we came across and got to know a great range of organizations and educators from Germany and Israel, that have diverse professional backgrounds and are in different ways engaged in issues of diversity-conscious and discriminatory-sensitive education, youth work and exchange. Our declared aim is to connect the dots of a German-Israeli educational network that actively deepens the consciousness of democratic values in youth work and exchange projects.

We are furthermore posting comments, articles and presentations of our partners.
