Welcome to the multicultural relations web portal
This is a community non-profit initiative that began to appear in 2016 as a site with the purpose of collating and presenting information on intercultural relations in Israel and about the large variety of activities taking place in the areas of culture among Jews and Arabs. This is a useful web portal which brings information together from diverse sources in a uniform way to the general public, institutions and organizations.
This repository of information sets outs to bring attention to the normative dialogue relating to placemaking among Jews and Arabs. It tells of undertakings to bring about contacts between communities and individuals. Our purpose is to reveal the encouraging and hopeful aspects of these developments, which are not always brought to the attention of the public. Instead of focusing on expressions of radicalism and racialism, we will reveal the large variety of activity taking place in this area.
In order to enable organizations, institutions and individuals to learn about these activities, this portal presents the vast amount of useful information available. This includes programs, lectures, workshops and conventions that can be useful for activities in the various areas of activity.
The values we promote are – cooperation, respect and equality in dialogue, empathy and esteem.
