German-Israeli Youth Exchange – Encounters of Young People in Migration Societies

Bilateral seminar to discuss and plan pilot projects

Young people in Germany and Israel have diverse cultural, religious and national identities. Many of them come from families with a history of migration. It often happens that young people have experienced immigration to Israel or Germany themselves. How do we further develop German-Israeli youth exchange to meet this reality adequately? How can we value the diversity of personal and collective narratives – whilst taking into account the historically significant subject of National Socialism and Shoah?

ConAct and the Israel Youth Exchange Authority invite German and Israeli professionals to face those and further questions in a joint discussion. The bilateral seminar shall not only open a space for debates, but serves as a platform to plan a series of cooperation projects in German-Israeli youth exchange that lay the focus on the participation of young people with migration history.

Date: May 27 to 30, 2018

Place: Berlin/Germany
