Educational project: partnership between high schools in France and Israel

Our goal is to foster dialogue between high school students from both sides of the Mediterranean, with a particular emphasis on countries where questions of identities are especially sensitive, and do cause conflicts. Through educational tools, students will be given a chance to explore their own cultural identity, in order to develop, at a later stage, a space of exchange, a place for sharing, where those conflicting identities will meet and enrich each other.

The project will first be implemented in France and in Israel (french, israeli and arab israeli high schools). We want schools to be open places where a reflection on those questions can be conducted, and we would like recognition of the students’ differences and common points to be promoted during the course of this experiment.
