Living in One Land - High School

Over the last 20 years, Israeli society has witnessed a dramatic shift in attitudes on tolerance and democracy, especially among young Israelis. Studies have found that Jewish youth have become more nationalistic and Arab youth have become more engaged in their civic identity and attaining equal status; and both groups reported a high level of concern for Jewish-Arab relations in Israel. To address these concerns, the Abraham Initiatives operates courses for 10th & 11th grade students at Jewish high schools across Israel. The program brings Arab society into the classroom, and takes the class into Arab society.
