Education for citizenship and democracy is inherently a profound process that requires consistent and practical efforts to achieve results. It necessitates imparting knowledge, providing opportunities for practice and experience, and developing skills and competencies. These endeavors demand training and support for educational staff who are currently often hesitant to engage with these subjects due to a lack of knowledge, skills, or fear of addressing controversial issues at the heart of Israeli society. This hesitation is exacerbated by concerns over potential repercussions from authorities, parents, and other stakeholders. This project involves creating a learning and creative community of civics teachers from several schools, who will undergo a joint process of learning and designing civics education in schools. This encompasses both preparation for matriculation and beyond, as civics education should occur at all school levels and in various contexts. Read more…

This initiative involves creating a joint learning and creative community of coordinators from various groups and localities. Implementation with students can be done separately or together between schools, offering a wide range of possibilities.

In the wake of the prolonged conflict and heightened security threats facing Israel, the need for fortified shelters and protected spaces within Amal Educational Network schools has become an urgent priority. The relentless War in Gaza, ongoing rocket threats from multiple borders, and the ever-present danger demand a thorough reassessment of the safety measures in our educational institutions. Many shelters, some outdated and in disrepair, need immediate attention to ensure they can serve as secure havens in times of peril. While the government covers the cost of repairing schools that have already suffered damage, Amal seeks your support for the renovation of shelters in schools that require upgrading. These spaces, vital for the safety and well-being of students and educational staff, must not only meet safety standards but also serve as inviting sanctuaries during times of crisis. Your contribution will directly impact the lives of countless students and educators, providing them with a sense of security and resilience amidst the uncertainties of conflict.

In the wake of the ongoing conflict and displacement in Israel, the educational landscape faces unprecedented challenges, particularly for children from low socio-economic backgrounds who have been forced to stay home. The trauma experienced by these students, coupled with the disruption of traditional schooling, necessitates urgent intervention. Providing every student in Amal schools with a portable computer is not merely a response to the immediate crisis but a strategic investment in the future resilience of these young minds. These computers will serve as a lifeline, enabling remote learning and reconnecting students with their classrooms. Your support can mitigate the impact of war-induced trauma on education, empowering these children to regain a sense of normalcy, continuity, and hope. By donating towards this initiative, you contribute to bridging the educational gap created by the conflict, ensuring that every child has the tools they need to overcome adversity and continue their educational journey.

The Amal Scholarship Program is a visionary initiative that stands to make a profound impact on the lives of students hailing from diverse backgrounds. In embracing the principles of inclusivity, this scholarship program becomes a beacon of opportunity for those who may face additional challenges in their educational journey. Amal schools often serve as the last educational framework where students receive specialized and intensive support. Without these scholarships, these invaluable students may be at risk of leaving the educational system altogether, missing out on the tailored assistance that can empower them to become active and contributing members of Israeli society. Your support for this scholarship program is an investment not only in individual educational pursuits but in fostering a truly diverse, inclusive, and empowered community within the Amal Educational Network.
