Especially in times of increasing polarization and conflict, spaces for dialogue and exchange are more important than ever. With its new programme “Beyond Polarization,” the German-Israeli Future Forum Foundation aims to create such a space.
The programme is aimed at young people aged between 18 and 29 who are committed to social cohesion. Participants will have the opportunity to exchange ideas with other young people involved in community work, discover inspiring organisations, and carry out their own small-scale projects within their local communities.
Program dates:
- Kick-off meeting (Zoom): 7 May 2026
- Trip to Berlin: 22-28 June 2026
- Trip to Israel: 30 August 30 – 6 September 2026
- Mini projects: until the end of November
Apply if:
- You speak English and are between 18 and 29 years old
- You are active in youth education or civil society initiatives that promote social cohesion, or plan to get involved
- You can participate in both trips and would like the opportunity to create a Mini Project and/or contribute ideas to help shape the programme
