There is no Democracy without Education for Democracy
Democracy in Israel is in crisis. And if we don’t educate for democracy, it just won’t exist. It’s that simple. The actual teaching of democracy, on the other hand, isn’t so simple. It requires experience, theoretical and practical knowledge and the flexibility to adapt to our ever-changing reality. It starts in preschool, continues through elementary school and middle, high school and beyond. At the Adam Institute for Democracy and Peace, we’ve been developing these sorts of programs and teaching them in Hebrew and Arabic for more than thirty years. We’ve broadened our scope and programming to all over Europe and around the world. And we’re stepping up to today’s challenge in our region, and beyond. This campaign is precisely what’s needed to safeguard Israeli democracy—to expand and deepen our activities in the field with new and old population sectors, examine the challenges to democracy and peace, address lurking dangers, and renew and innovate our efforts with intellectual and civic courage.
Our goal is to raise NIS 300,000. Because #WeCareAboutDemocracy
