Know your neighbour
The ‘Know your neighbour’ program promotes interaction between Israel’s Jewish and non-Jewish children and adolescents – both on and off the football field. Soccer is applied as a means for stimulating coexistence.
In a nutshell:
- Ages: 8-11 and 12-13.
- Weekly football practices, bi-annual joint activities.
- Mixed ethnic and/or religious teams (e.g. Jewish Israeli -Arab Israeli).
Main learning goals include:
- Promote mutual understanding, acceptance and coexistence.
- Change perceptions: eliminate prejudice and stereotypes of “the other”.
- Develop tolerance, patience and respect for others.
- Understand the value of a living in a multi-faceted and multicultural society.
